Thomas was a great host. He gave us a nice tour around his beautiful place and was very hospitable. He even gave us bananas picked from his yard. The place was convieniently located between Hilo and Volcano National Park as listed. The place was spacious and perfect for four. The only complaint we had was that we found couple cockroaches in the microwave and some more in the bathroom during our stay. The coffee machine was also too dirty for us to use. Our only wish was that the kitchen would have been roach free and everything would have been perfect. We still enjoyed our stay very much bc our host was great.
