Michelle place is a perfect place near Hilo to getaway.
Location - the location is perfect with it being close to hilo and to the volcano national park. In addition there is a beautiful spot walking distance from the house where you can see one of the best sunsets
house - The room is very well set up and very unique with the kitchen being outside. It had everything set up and is huge. The additional room to keep our luggage was an added bonus. The bed is super comfortable. The best part of the house was the outdoor area where you can just lounge on the hammock.
Host - The best part about our stay was the hosts. both Michelle and Joe are super friendly and share the local secrets like the newest eruptions from 2018 and shared their bikes to go around the neighborhood. They also made amazing naan bread to share with us one night. I wish we could stay here longer. One recommendation is to check out the guidebook. it has the local spots you need to try out.
