Everything was great. Clean, safe, close location, parking, easy checkin & out. Great host, lots of communication, quick & easy. Cute little gecko on the balcony...didn't let it in!! Feel confident in booking this place!!
What a great apartment. Everything was up excellent standards. Many extras like phone charging stations, smart TV with many choices, free wifi, well stocked kitchen, a balcony with a hammock just to name a few. The neighborhood was quiet. Thank you for letting us stay.
Our stay was truly exceptional,with a fantastic location, impeccable attention to detail, and a genuinely warm welcome. I do have one suggestion: considering adding Rubens Mexican to your recommened dining options, as it is a Hilo institution since1979. We actually made a special trip to Hilo to bring back a large order, and I highly recommend it to future guest. Mahalo for hosting us and we will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place.
The room was just as described, very nice and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a meal. I appreciated the extremely quick communication!
The condo is very central, very good equipped, is licated in a hudge parc -very close to wverything, has free parking, and you sleep beyond ukuleles… wonderful!!
Central Hilo Location and Clean. Property in recent past seems to had a nice major renovation but does have some deferred maintenance issues. Over all with a some repairs could easily be brought up to a 5 star stay. Would definitely consider staying in this property again. A/C is a definite in Hilo
Very nice efficiency apartment, in a bit of a run down complex. Well stocked apartment. Near airport, and other activities around the area, including Volcano National Park (on of our favorites).
Abundant free parking, quiet unit, comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, good location. The condo complex is dated, but the unit itself is everything you could want for a home base in Hilo.
Gardens condo was a great place for our short stay in Hilo. All the amenities you could ask for, plus great coffee. Check in was super easy and everything matched what was listed. Wish we had more time in Hilo to fully take advantage of what the condo offered.
This little studio apartment was great! The owner was very quick with responses about the AC breaker going out. The location is great for a base home to explore Hilo. Very pleased!
We spent two nights here and really liked this place. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was easy to find, park, gain access, and we even did laundry. Fairly close to downtown to drive for dinner. Host had an excellent book created with lots of details. Would stay here again if in Hilo area. Thanks Joe!
My partner and I loved staying here when we traveled through Hilo. The surrounding area is really nice to walk around, and the interiors are absolutely beautiful. The host was extremely accommodating to fulfill my last minute request to stay here, and was very communicative through the entire process. The use of the washer/dryer facility was a bonus, as we had been traveling and doing lots of hiking which meant we did a load while we stayed there for the night. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This apartment has been done up nicely with a lot of thought, although the building is a bit rundown. It is a great location for exploring Hilo and the sights of the east side of the Big Island.
+ very nice and clean apartment just as in the pictures, a comfortable bed, a small park just behinde the building.
- the view from the balcony to the parking lot is the only thing a bit disturbing.
Nice studio with a king bed and a kitchen with everything you need for a short vacation. A cute small Lanai with a chain of lights and a cozy hammock. The host was quickl and reliably available when needed. Short drive to downtown hilo and the beaches are also a few minutes away. Everything was in order.
Out of 6 places we stayed on our 3-island tour, this was far and away the nicest. Absolutely beautiful and fully equipped, including in-room access to a couple of e-scooters (additional cost, FYI, but still, wow!).
We had a minor problem with the safe, the owner replied to our inquiry within minutes and solved the problem.
A 10/10 stay.
