I stayed here in May 2018 for 5 days. Was actually bigger and nicer than what I thought I was getting. Unlike what you see in the News, I had access to most everywhere except a small neighborhood-Leilani Estates. The lava fissure is a tiny tiny part of Hawaii and there is no better time to go than now in my opinion. There are no crowds. Boat lava tours, helicopter rides, and just driving to the summit of the volcano were all doable. In fact you're going to see more for your $$.
The 2 bedroom two bath house was off the beaten path and very comfortable. At night it was so peaceful & quiet, a cool breeze coming in through the windows. The owner was very nice and responsive the few times I needed to contact her. They had wifi and it's just 10 min from the little town of Pahoa. This place was bettter than any motel I've stayed at hands down. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Amazing sights on an Island of 5 Volcanoes. Best 5 days of my life and what a science lesson!
