We stayed with Jason for 4 days. Check in was a breeze and communication was good. The only issue was the water system went out one day. Jason was seen working on it for hours the next day. Things happen.
The cottage is about 30 miles from Hilo so it became a pain to drive into town on a daily basis. However, this is disclosed in the description. If you're staying here on Wednesday night, make sure you go to the Kalapana Farmer's Market.
Would I stay here again? Absolutely. It was a great stay!
