Michael was a wonderful host and very thoughtful in providing brochures and sugggestion for visiting guests. The house was clean and very well managed. Everything was labeled in the cupboards and the decor was just enough--not over decorated and very well organized. The house was about a mile from the ocean and about 15-20 min from Hilo (the closest town for shopping and browsing around).
The house was a great location for being centrally located for seeing Volcano and national park activities.
I loved the simplicity of the house and his very friendly disposition and immediate responses to all inquiries and questions. He was very thorough in his responses and followed through with all concerns/requests/suggestions.
I was a little apprehensive at staying at his place (because there were no reviews). However, after booking and staying for the week, I would definitely stay at his place again! And would recommend others do the same! Everything was just as it was stated in his AirBnB ad/post. You could not go wrong staying here.
