Linda's house is surrounded by lush tropical bush and is peaceful and quiet. It is very close to the Volcano National Park, which was unfortunately closed due to volcanic activity. This meant that we spent most of our time away from Volcano, exploring the coast north of Hilo. Nevertheless, Linda was a very helpful host, very reassuring about the volcano risks and providing extra information about local restaurants. We had the whole upstairs to ourselves and found we had everything we needed.
