Mike has been enormously thoughtful and generous in putting together Ao Lele. It is an absolutely delightful cottage! So pleasant, so many resources (guides, rain jackets, flashlights, etc.); well-stocked with fruit, breakfast cereals, and condiments; and so well-situated! And he continued to be unobtrusively thoughtful, helpful host throughout our stay. Situated in the rainforest, bordering on the park, in the sweet small town of Volcano Village, it (with Mike's unerring suggestions) provided a perfect base from which to see the amazing sights and hike the varied terrain of Volcanoes National Park. (Don't miss a night hike to the live lava crater and be sure to stop in at the Volcano Art Center.) The rating scale only goes to 5; Ao Lele deserves a rating, as in the Tour de France, of "beyond category."
