This is an apt location ,just 5 minutes away from visitor centre if you don't get to stay at volcano village. I and my husband stayed here for 4 days , and Kristin hosted us very comfortably. The place was painted very recently and we had our windows open to put off the lingering smell. Touched by the breakfast options she kept inside her fridge and they were a savior for us through the hikes along the trails ! the location is also close to hilo
