TL;DR— Great location and space (when clean and functional). Terrible communication (bordering on safety concerns w/ Covid).
The unit is conveniently located in downtown Wailuku and is walking distance from most of my favorite things in town. I was born in the islands and have been living on Maui for most of this year and wanted to experience living in Wailuku before heading back to mainland. The unit could have been cleaned better (floors were filthy), and at least one fixture was broken, but the high ceilings and location made up for it.
The experience was great until some really rowdy tourists checked into the rear ohana unit and decided to destroy my sleep and ability to work for several days in a row. I tried to share my concerns with the property manager, Alexa, who is good at her job but not very responsive.
I made the mistake of mentioning the noise (their TV was vibrating the wall next to the head of the bed in the room while I was trying to sleep before an important work day) to the owners, Colleen and Eric, who decided to take it upon themselves to start knocking, visiting unannounced/uninvited, and calling at strange hours, further disrupting my peace (and waking up a friend sleeping on the couch one night). Colleen and Eric own a business next door, so I wouldn’t recommend this space to anyone else anxious about catching Covid or anyone who wants their peace and quiet while on Maui...
They had a cancellation on the other side of the island, so I was able to relocate for my last few days, which I really appreciated. I could have done without the weird messages about cleaners, etc and even offered to find Colleen a better and more affordable cleaner on island (I know a few), but she stopped responding to my messages once they got me out of my originally booked space (apparently it was easier for them than asking the 2-4 people in the Ohana to be quiet/respectful).
