If you want to get to the lava, there is no better place to stay--you're actually closer than the public parking access point. A couple of things you should understand for this rental--it is primitive but great for this area, which was completely overrun by lava; so everything is primitive here. With that said, there is electricity, a composting toilet (weird but workable), a very private outdoor shower, and a bedroom which is a separate building from the "house." It took a minute to find in the dark when we arrived, but it was back there. You cook on a propane stove and there is no traditional running water in the kitchen sink, just a potable water jug and spigot. Again, it's a fine place, just not a traditional house. Place was very clean.
