Joshua's place is ideally positioned to explore the Volcano national park - its a very short 5 min drive away. He had some great recommendations for hiking trails, which was very helpful. We slept very well at his place and really appreciated how quiet the area is. The room and bathroom had everything we needed, and the bed was very comfortable. He even supplied local coffee which was delicious, hot chocolate and plenty of spring water to drink. There is no TV, but there is free WiFi provided and we did not feel we were missing out on anything. Would definitely recommend staying at this place as a base for exploring Volcano national park and Hilo.
