The location is between the Volcano National Park and Hilo city center and in a very private location. House is big enough to fit two families. My wife said she slept better in the house than in a Hilton hotel. Sound of birds, bugs, rain, wind made the night so peaceful. In a clear night you can see sky full of stars from the backyard. No need for AC, there are so many windows bringing enough cool air even in a hot mid noon time. Communication with host was easy, friendly and prompt. We enjoyed our stay.
