The host was excellent communicating with us! The house is private, beautiful and clean. It is 10 minutes from the National Park so we went and saw the volcano erupting every night. The area is very quiet and great for early morning runs. It was terrific having a washer and dryer. Like every place in the area it is important to be mindful of water usage. The four bedrooms make the house feel so spacious! There are no spices, cooking oil, etc so plan accordingly. I would also bring a lighter for the propane stove. All in all this was an excellent rental and I would definitely stay again.
