This was my nicest Airbnb stay ever. The apartment was nicer than we expected - more like a really nicely furnished real apartment, as opposed to a cookie cutter vacation rental. It also felt very private, even on the decks, because of how it's arranged. You can reach anything in or right around Hanalei on an easy walk or on the cool bikes that they provide.
Amy and Paul were absolutely wonderful. They were instantly responsive, helpful and gracious, and they were happy to share all their local knowledge about the town, surfing, hikes and weather. They really treated us like guests and friends.
We even ran into some trouble with our flights on the way out, and they were ready to help us out with alternative arrangements.
We absolutely want to return. It was a perfect spot and they were wonderful hosts. This is how Airnbnb should, but does not always, work.
