We arrived late (after dark) and it was raining (which it does a lot in volcano!) so be warned that Kristin’s place is difficult to find in the dark. She didn’t provide address after booking and it took us about two hours to get ahold of her after we landed in Hilo. Once she answered her phone, she walked us thru and we found it fine but there are no numbers visible from the street. I suggest the owner provide address and directions upon booking. Car port really helped in he rain but there is very little lighting along walkway so we were blind finding the entrance. I suggest host leave lights on for guests arriving late.
The place is beautiful but be warned it can be cold and damp in volcano and the place is not heated. The apt is clean but we saw signs of mold on ceiling so dampness is an issue. The host provided a space heater after we asked and that helped a lot but follow instructions to not use any other appliances at same time bc circuit will get tripped.
