Beautiful and clean house, great location, great host. I'd recommend this place to those planning to explore the south and east of the big island.
John's place was a rare-finding on airbnb when I was planning for my second visit to the big island, and I feel so fortunate to be able to stay at John's house!The location is quite convenient, 20 minutes driving to hilo town center, 40 minutes to the Volcanos National Park, and 20 minutes to the volcano which erupted in 2018. John is very helpful and willing to share useful information during our visit, he got us a great guide who showed us around the scene after the 2018 eruption, and shared us some videos of the eruption moments back in 2018, this tour has made our day!
The house itself is great, very spacious and well-organized! We felt quite comfortable during our stay, it's even more beautiful that the pictures showed. There are several fruit trees in the yard, and John provided us a big basket of fruits in the fridge, very tasty! Also you can hear birds and chicken singing, it could be a little bit annoying to some people but that's what the nature of birds and chickens are, and John is kind enough to prepare earplugs to help us sleep.
