The Host did everything to make my stay wonderful. Very easy to talk to and relax in interesting conversation. Very accommodating to my needs. I would not hesitate to re-book if I'm able to return. Felt very much at home with Joy and Michael. The little studio was just the right size for me and another. I loved their Lanai to their home! Large and welcoming area. They furnished me a breakfast and dinner, very good. Wish I had more time to visit, but my stay was to help take of my daughter living in Kurtistown and had broke both feet! Not fun for anyone.. Not far from Hilo and about an hour from the Volcano. They may know a shortcut. The host are very knowledgeable about the island. Enjoy! Ann Leamon
