10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect for what we needed! The host was very responsive when we were checking in. The code was not correct and they quickly answered and gave the correct code. To me that is always a big deal with a rental, is if something was a concern they are there to assist and Amber was. The rooms were clean and the AC and added fans were nice and cold. They had many extra things in the apartment that we could use. The chairs and cooler were very helpful for our trip. We loved the Hilo Coffee that was out front. This saved us a ton of money as we traveled from Florida."
