If you are planning to spend time at the Volcano National Park, this home is the perfect home base. It’s about a 5-10min car ride. The check-in process was so easy - there was a keypad to enter the home. The home was clean and looks just as pictured on the listing. The kitchen is small but functional. Enough to heat things up, make coffee, and make a light breakfast/lunch. There was a microwave and a toaster oven. Cooking a major meal could be a little difficult. Candice also provided detailed suggestions on things to do around the area. She was also kind enough to help us plan our activities when it was pouring down with buckets of rain. She was super responsive (via texts) to make sure everything was okay. There was no cable for the TV, just a dvd player. This was okay for us, there was wi-fi so we occupied ourselves with our tablets/phones.
