Clean room, quiet environment, Easy to communicate with host. Only down side is it is a little hard to find the location as it is in a remote area.

We had a great stay! This property exceeded our expectations and was very nice. It felt clean and organized and we appreciated the amenities such as the coffee and toiletries. Great proximity to volcano. The welcome packet made finding the location super easy and made us feel comfortable while settling in. Would definitely recommend!
