This rental was really a treat for us. We like nature, and nature it is. Very close to Volcano Village for the restaurants in the evening, and excellent proximity to the National Park which was our focus. The drive to Hilo was not far because we wanted to see the botanical gardens - worth the drive and a totally different climate. The place was very comfortable - really nothing to complain about at all. I had originally planned to come in the dark from Kona, but was able to change my flight to arrive before dark. Parts of the road from Kona not recommended after dark so best to arrive in daylight.
Lisa has done an excellent job setting this unit up, and clearly has an eye for ambience and design.
