5+* - Leila's place is a unique apartment in Maui. All the things you'd want in an exceptional apartment all found in the same place: - Beautiful apartment - the pictures cannot do it justice - it's a modern multi-floor apartment. Sliding doors make it so easy to get the breeze in both the bedroom and the living room and kitchen. Porch and patio make it easy to soak up the morning, afternoon, or evening. - Beautiful modern kitchen, including great appliances mean it's easy to go shopping for fruit or local food and enjoy it on your schedule. - Location is spectacular, not only because you've got views, but because the resort association takes care of the grounds around the apartment and in the complex. When you sit on the porch you can enjoy the view in a clean and well taken care of area. - Close proximity to the west-side of Maui, without being in the bustle. Everything from local beaches with great snorkeling, great local food spots, resorts & malls, and quick drives down to the other west-side beaches. When you return to the apartment, you get to escape and go back to a quiet and beautiful view. - The apartment is well thought out and stocked - there is everything you'd need for a long stay including a kitchen with all the appliances & pans & knife sets, fully stocked bathrooms with extra supplies, the linens you need, beach chairs if you need them, binoculars, lots of chairs and couches, great high speed internet & wifi, tvs with good service, multiple bathrooms and multiple sinks, really anytime we needed anything it was likely to already be in the apartment. If we did want to buy something, there are multiple stores a few minutes away. - Leila is a great host, using clear and well tested instructions for getting in and out of the apartment (keys, internet, directions, parking, etc.) and is also very responsive on the platform if you have any questions or changes. She's local which gave us comfort if things went wrong. - We happened to be on Maui when hurricane Lane (which became tropical storm Lane) hit us. Leila was a great host during that time, the apartment felt rock solid and we never had any concern for our safety, and the resort grounds around it were extremely well maintained and cleaned right after the storm. So it's rare, but if something does happen - this apartment that's built so well and is on higher ground, managed by professionals 24/7, is a great place to be. Leila also offered us a place to stay with her (not the AirBnB) if the hurricane hit and we had no where else to go. Thankfully, we were able to stay in the apartment (and Leila was able to extend our reservation) - but that's the true definition of a great host. Highly recommended - couldn't ask for a better apartment or host in Maui. Hands down...
