Hosts greatly impact our airbnb stays. Ken and Lori are examples of hosts who do impact your stay and it is all in a positive way. They greeted us warmly, toured the flat and property with us and talked about the area and the islands. Ken being native to the Big Island and Lori having lived there for 40 years, means that you get expert advise on all things related to the Big Island. They know where to go, what to do, the history, culture and more. That would be enough for this glowing 5-star review. But, in addition, they created a studio, that felt private, that we stayed in for a week that was fresh, clean and included all we needed in the kitchen to cook most evenings. In addition, the property is well-located between Volcano, Hilo and Akaka Falls.
