Five hundred words is not enough for me to describe how wonderful Fung's home is or how welcoming she was.

The town of Volcano, which is where Fung's home is located, is adjacent to Hawai'i Volcanos National Park. Fung's place is about a 5 minute drive to the park. (BTW, other Air B&B listings claim to be walking distance to the park. That may be, but you really need a car inside the park to get to anything outside of the visitor's center.)

The studio that she has built for guests is entirely separate from the main house and is completely self-contained with full kitchen, very nice bathroom, and huge closet to store all your clutter. The apartment has high ceilings and seems way bigger than it's actual square footage. Apartment and grounds of property are peaceful and elegant and are a perfect intimate counterbalance to the huge scale and grandeur you will be experiencing at the park.

Fung herself is a delightful host. Not nosy or in your business, but available if need be and a great store of information about the park, the area, and Hawai'i itself. We could have spent hours talking with her, and we do not really consider ourselves to be "B&B people."

We plan on returning to the area again and look forward to staying with Fung when we do.

Aloha
