This was a great launch pad for us to explore lower Puna, Hilo and Volcano National Park. Those all make perfect day trips from Linda's place. This is a solid budget option with a unique vibe. The shower does indeed feel like showering right in the jungle in all the best ways. The screens provide nice airflow and ambient jungle noise, though they and the nature of the house (first floor unit with house above) means noise does flow. The house is located in the subdivision where the 2018 fissure was, so you can run right to the lava field. Wild to see.
