We enjoyed our stay at this clean, thoughtfully decorated, and conveniently located residence. It was somewhat difficult to find the first time due to all the cars parked on the road, making the driveway hard to find. However, once we found it, we were easily able to find our parking spot and get into the home thanks to the directions sent from Simone. The home is very cozy and we enjoyed our stay. We were thankful for the earplugs as the frogs are quite loud at night.

Nice cozy layout for our family of 3. Convenient location 2 blocks from downtown Hilo and Farmers Market. We walked down to Booch Bar for breakfast and Pineapples for dinner. 5 minutes to Coconut Island. 10 minutes to Richardson and Carlsmith. Simone was a pleasure to work with. We had a great time.

Lovely place for our short stay!

We had a great time in Hilo and the central location to all our activities made this place a great choice for our family! It's an easy walk to a lot of restaurants and shops, and a short drive to a number of Big Island sites like Rainbow Falls and Akaka Falls State Park. Check-in/out was easy and the hosts were responsive when we had questions (the laundry wasn't immediately visible but it was easy to find once we got the host's note).

Clean and inviting. Greeted with a bowl of welcome snacks to start the stay which we enjoyed! Essentials provided including a rice cooker for the times you wanna stay in and create your own meal. Owners took great thought into considering small details. E.g. ear plugs to help block out the sound of nature if it's not something you find yourself falling asleep too. Overall, the place was comfortable. A home away from home.

Very comfortable 2 night stay in Hilo!

The Rainbow Loft is a hidden gem in Hilo! Very close to downtown Hilo, Rainbow Falls and other trails. We appreciated how clean the place was, as well as the wonderful amenities (washer/dryer, luggage racks, coffee, etc.). It is within walking distance to local businesses, though we felt more comfortable driving. Thank you Steven for a wonderful stay!

Excellent stay in Hilo

This property is very charming and cozy. We (couple) stayed for three nights and simply loved the atmosphere. Every single detail, from decoration to amenities really well thought of. Parking is right in front of the unit, which makes easy loading and unloading. Property is located walking distance from restaurants and farmers market. Highly recommended.

Excellent Hilo location

This rental is perfect for two couples who want to spend time in and around Hilo. Easy walking to downtown restaurants, shopping and market. The apartment is comfy and plenty roomy for four people, and comes with all you are likely to need. Very satisfied. Very few options like this right in Hilo, so very happy that they are on VRBO.

We enjoyed the stay. The gifts of cookies, coffee and honey were yummy. Everything was great except the view was not too good. Also, the walls were thin and we could here the neighbors walking up and down the stairs late at night.

Centrally located to downtown/restaurants

Quaint property and is accurately represented in the listing. All communication with host was great. Appreciated the goodies left for us to enjoy during our visit. The only feedback is for the listing to be updated that the washer/dryer is not in the actual unit and there are certain hours when it can be utilized.
