Emily’s place was really lovely to stay at. It’s a beautiful space, lovingly decorated, and well-appointed with everything you might need on your holiday, and then some. Very spacious for two people, and great to come back home to after a long day exploring the island - the hot tub was especially great :)
The area is quiet (apart from the Coqui frogs and cockerels crowing at any time of day :P) and very private.
It was also a great help to have a washing machine and dryer - though we did have to plan carefully when we did our laundry, or be subject to invasions of moths when it got dark.
Very nice bed with super smooth sheets that were comfortable to sleep in.
Kitchen had lots of utensils and pots/pans to cook in, and cleaning supplies too.
Bathroom was very pretty and spacious. The stone floor was interesting getting used to as it wasn’t a flat surface to step on, but I liked it very much.
There’s quite a few power points around the house so it wasn’t difficult to find one nearby for our phones and chargers.
The dirt road up to the house is very bumpy, but not too long or difficult (we rented a Jeep Wrangler for our trip, though, which helped).
The location of the house in Volcano was not particularly good or bad for us, as our travels took us all over the island to Hilo (35min drive), Kalapana (55min drive), and Kohala (2hr 10min drive), to name a few.
Overall, would definitely recommend this place!
