This is a comfortable and spacious apartment, surrounded by fern forest and native ohia trees. It is very convenient to the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, which is welcome for thoue who want to spend time there, going back and forth. Be aware that this is not an entire house, but rather the upstairs part of a house; this didn't pose a problem for our group and in fact it was good to meet Marie, the host who lives downstairs. Apparently I didn't read the description closely enough and thought we were renting a house. Another thing to be aware of is that this location is often very wet and rainy, which makes everything very green, but may be disappointing if you don't anticipate this.
