We were a bit disappointed in our stay here, particularly compared to recent experiences with other AirBnB's in Hawaii. The unit has pro's and con's:
Pro's:
--Very friendly and helpful host
--great location, very near to the south Kihei local restaurants and shops, and beach
--Large, separate unit with full kitchen
--Free Netflix access on host's account, which was a nice touch
Con's:
--Very noisy at night from neighborhood roosters and dogs. To be fair, this unit is ground floor in a residential neighborhood and feral roosters are an endemic problem on Maui, but during our stay it felt like one or more of the roosters was right under the bedroom window, and they crow most of the night.
--Very noisy air conditioners and refrigerator (having A/C is nice in Kihei, and maybe a side benefit is that these are noisy enough to drown out the rooster under the bedroom window :-))
--Beds (main and sofa bed) are rock hard, like yoga mats on the floor. I favor a firm mattress, but I really had no idea it was possible to make one this firm.
--Overall feel of the furnishings and equipment is of a low-end yard sale
--Kitchen is very poorly equipped, even for basics such as breakfast and making tea.
--I thought the $125 cleaning fee was a bit much given the general feel of the unit and the fact that guests are asked to strip beds, gather towels and other things to facilitate cleaning.
