We had a great time at Alice's place. Great location! It is a short 5 min drive to Volcano National Park, making it really convenient for us to come and go from the park during the day and at night as needed. It was also only 30 minutes or so from Hilo and we made our way there several times to check out restaurants and such.
We loved the little touches around the apartment. Having the lanturns / flashlights was great for visiting the national park at night. The space heater and dehumidifer made our stay super warm and comfy, even in February where it can get quite cold at night. Would definitely recommend staying here if you plan to visit the parks!
