Rhea and Alden's house was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in (and I've been using Airbnb since 2012!)--it's a *beautiful* house that they built themselves, and it's one of the coolest and most comfortable places I've ever stayed. The location near Pahoe was great for getting to Volcanoes National Park, and the area was actually the part of the Big Island that was damaged by the recent flows, so you can see the flows just a few miles down the road. Their driveway is framed on both sides by antheriums, and it's a lovely drive. Their 2 dogs and cat are extremely friendly and cute, so it was very cool being greeted by them every time. The house itself was great--it doesn't get too hot in that part of the island, but there's an AC just in case. There are a lot of windows so it's very airy and light. The bathroom is beautifully tiled, and Rhea leaves fresh flowers that's better than any air freshener :) The bed is comfortable, the TV is great to have, the internet is fast and reliable, the whole house is spotless clean, and Rhea and Alden were extremely responsive to any messages. They sent us directions to the house well in advance of our traveling there, and Rhea met us and showed us how to use everything when we arrived. The breakfast they leave is delicious, and the deck is really wonderful for enjoying a cool breeze in the morning or in the evening. Their place made our stay on the Hilo side of the island SO much better, and I can't recommend it highly enough!
