Sean & Zorro's place was super convenient for exploring the lava flow. His house is right by the end of the road where all the bike rentals are, and so you can park at the house, relax, and then walk over and rent bikes when you're ready to head over to view where the lava flows in to the ocean. We ended up night hiking uphill to the lava, which took about 4 hours round trip (tip: start a little before sunset, so you can see it up close in both the day and night), and so it was nice to be able to get back late and sleep instead of driving out to further accommodations.
