This cottage is in a beautiful location with super close access to the lava flows near the ocean, but the building itself is sandwiched between two big homes and very close to them, so there are no views out any of the windows. Check in was very easy, but the directions to the place were a bit confusing and we got lost, and the host did not respond to text message. The worst parts of our experience were the giant cockroach we found in the bathroom and the host being rude to my pregnant partner when we asked where to find the compost. The host's demeanor didn't really seem to match up with the lovely Buddhist vibes of the cottage's decor. Overall, it was still a pleasant stay with a good value and I would recommend.
