Ben’s home was wonderful! It was large, well stocked, beautiful, and less than 10 minutes from Volcanoes National Park. We were able to spread out and feel like we were at home on vacation for a few days. Ben provided thoughtful touches like coffee (definitely no need to bring your own unless you have a specific preference) and tea, board games, and streaming services. There is also a welcome book with suggestions on things to see and do, where to eat, etc. The home was beautifully furnished and decorated, and the whole space is very peaceful, with a lot of zen decor. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need to cook on vacation, including a crock pot, rice cooker, cookie sheets, wine glasses, etc. There are more than enough towels and plenty of blankets for chilly volcano evenings and early mornings. And there’s a washer and dryer, as well, which was so convenient after a few hot days at Volcanoes National Park.
I would absolutely stay at Ben’s place again, as it was so homey and relaxing and warm. Thanks for having us, Ben, we appreciate your hospitality!
