Emily's cottage was great for our trip exploring the Hilo area and Volcanos National Park. About 30 minute drive to either and about a 10 minute drive to Pahoa town center, where there were some good food options (Ning’s Thai was awesome). The apartment was clean and organized and had all the amenities we needed. The wifi was good and reliable -- my girlfriend and I were both working during the day and were able to take video calls (although sometimes we'd have to turn off the camera due to bandwidth constraints - not really an issue). There is a lot of nature surrounding the cottage so be aware you're going to fall asleep and wake up to birds singing (might be useful to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper)! Would definitely stay again. Thanks Emily!
