Absolutely magical!
Everything about this Airbnb was perfect.
Location: Right down the street from a local store, a few restaurants, and the Volcano National Park! It was so convenient to be able to do our day-time hiking, come back to the Airbnb for a nap, then go right down the street to view the lava at night. It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood that felt very intimate and shielded from the trees. Very well-kept and felt super safe.
Amenities: I love love love the hot tub. It was beautiful, clean, had thoughtful touches, and it really made this Airbnb stand out above the rest. The decor and interior design is great too, had a nice spacious cabin vibe. It truly is better than the photos.
Very clean! It also had a washer/dryer which was great since it does rain a bit during the winter. Brenda provided flashlights for night-time hiking which was thoughtful. They also even provide wood for the stove. Had a coffeemaker, pans and dishes for cooking, wine opener, and bottled waters. I also loved the step-in shower.
Also, they provided blankets, which you do need - it does get quite chilly at night. Definitely bring some socks and a sweater. But if you do forget, they do have a wood stove and warm blankets.
There weren't curtains on the windows - but that was fine by us - we were up with the sun anyway. There's still a good sense of privacy, you're surrounded by trees - didn't really hear any neighbors.
Check-in: Super easy, you have a cute carport for parking.
Communication: Brenda was quick to respond, accommodating and helpful.
