This accommodation was in a great spot - near Volcano village and 30-40 minutes from Hilo where we spent a lot of our time. Kristen also added some lovely personal touches including homemade biscotti on arrival, which was delicious! We were initially concerned about staying so close to Volcano National Park, especially given all the media hype about the volcano, however Kristen advised the location was safe. We also confirmed this with Volcano National Park rangers. For anyone with similar concerns I would advise contacting Volcano National Park or sign up for the Civil Defense alerts. Don't read too much into the media info as park rangers advised most of what is being reported is false or highly exaggerated. Would definitely recommend this airbnb, we had a lovely stay!
