John's place was right next to Volcano National Park and was a great base. There's a hot tub for the guests to use. Our room had everything we could need. He even had little snacks and drinks (muffin, mini pie, bottled water, coffee, tea, and sunny delight) which we really appreciated. It's much cooler on this side of this island so I was thankful for the room heater. The bathroom has towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotions for you to use. John himself was very kind and hospitable!
