Staying at Valery and Dave's Airbnb is definitely a special treat! The bedroom, bathroom and also the shared kitchen area were not only impeccably clean, but also really thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything one could possibly ask for (a little fridge in the bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a grill in the really beautiful backyard, washer&dryer to use, books about the history of Hawai'i, a picnic basket ready to use...). Valery was a wonderful, warm-hearted host, leaving little notes with ideas for exploring each morning. The cute little dog Finn is a big plus for any animal lover, but as he can also stay upstairs, there is no problem at all for people not so keen on contact with dogs. The location is ideal for exploring the island up north, down to the Volcano National Park and there is even a nice beach within walking distance. Summed up, the perfect place on Big Island.
