We had a very nice time at Ben's place. We stayed there for 3 nights and we really enjoyed it. His place is perfectly located to explore the area, it is very close to the beach, to the Volcano national Park and not far from the closest town for groceries (20min drive). It is very private, we felt we were the only ones in the neighborhood. We loved the open roof and the outdoor shower. We arrived on a Wednesday night and we went to the local farmers market that other guest had recommended, it was an awesome experience. Ben was very responsive in his communication before we arrived and during our stay, we would definitly recommend his place!
