Linda was a great host! She was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The studio was clean and inviting with many little details accounted for, such as fresh fruits, bread, and snacks stocked in the kitchen, toiletries, books, movies, guide books for ideas of what to see in Hawaii--everything you could think of. It is a beautiful secluded location with great proximity to the green and black sand beaches, as well as Volcanoes National Park.
