When you book a hosted stay it’s important that you get on well with the host. We enjoyed visiting with Gene from the beginning until we departed. The home is designed for housing guests with each bedroom having a private bath so we had our privacy when we wanted. However we enjoyed getting to know Gene and the visiting. The volcano is best views at night and we could easily come and go at all hours whether returning after a late night visit or getting up before sunrise for a pre-dawn viewing.
