The cottage is in a quiet area in a tropical forest setting, very convenient to Volcanoes National Park. Photos are accurate. The unit is showing a bit of age (appliances/utensils) and consequences of a humid environment, but everything worked and seemed clean. There is a very effective dehumidifier included. The main bed is some sort of memory foam - some folks love that but I found it a little hot and uncomfortable (personal preference). Melissa was very prompt and clear with all communication. Overall, it met my needs for a short stay, but after taxes and cleaning fee, coming out to $175/night, I'm not sure I would say the value for the price was there.
