This place is awesome!!! If you are wanting to stay in the Volcano area, which I highly recommend, book this place!! Of note, it is really an awesome place for a solo traveler, and would be perfect for a romantic getaway as well. Daerick and Nedrra are fantastic hosts, and made sure I had everything I needed, responded immediately when I needed some minor trouble-shooting, and gave me good recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area. There were snacks and some basic food items ready for me, which came in very handy. This is a very private place, and your main window and the coved lanai look straight out into dense rain forest. There was some amazing bird-watching to be had over my morning coffee. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place, you may not want to leave to go see the sights! As I said, this place is very private. Even though the hosts live adjacent to the studio, I literally never knew they were there (except when I needed something!). You feel like you have the entire rain forest to yourself. A special mention about the bathtub here - it's a bit uncommon to find an airbnb listing with a bathtub on the island. The very nice, deep jetted tub in this place deserves it's own review, and definitely gets 6 stars!!
It's important to know that this property is on a dirt road. It's in the country, so that's what you should expect. When they send you instructions about how best to navigate the road, follow them! It's super easy and not a big deal (totally fine in a regular rental car), but you need to go slow and pay attention.
Volcanoes National Park it truly a national treasure. It's not something that can be adequately seen in a half of a day, and you're short-changing yourself if you try to do so. This place is a perfect jumping-off point for really exploring the park. I will absolutely stay here again, hopefully for longer next time!
