Todd's place is located only 2-3 minute-drive to the Volcanoes National Park. So, if you'd visit there, I highly recommend to stay at his place. The Volcano Village, which is the neighborhood, is safe and quiet, yet restaurants, a gas station, a general store, etc. are only 1 to 2 bocks away. On the top of all, we greatly appreciated Todd's prompt and super helpful responses to our questions.
