We had a great time in Maui as the Airbnb was in prime location. The condo was spacious for our family of 3 (myself, husband and our 1 year old son). The host was very communicative and helpful whenever we had a question.
Pros:
1. Prime location as you can literally walk to the beach and nearby restaurants
2. It was quiet and peaceful at night (no loud partiers etc. which was great)
3. The residents there were nice; some even stopped and talked to us
4. Plenty of beach toys, towels and other misc accessories
5. Washer and dryer was a great addition so we didn't have to pack as much clothes
6. They had children utensils and a fold out crib (we didn't use it)
Cons:
1. The stairs!!! Our son is not yet a walker so we have to walk up a flight of stairs, take the elevator and then another flight of stairs to get to the condo. This was not expressed to us during our communication and was assured that there was an elevator. It was an additional pain to bring up our luggage. Note if this if you will be traveling with kids.
2. The stairs to the loft was shaky
3. The place is a bit more rundown than I expected. The paints on the walls were chipped in some area, scratches in the bedroom closet mirror, pink stain on the table, broken light switch, etc.
4. Parking was a pain if you plan to go out after 5 p.m. The parking closest to the condo has limited "guest" parking and are filled by 4/5 p.m. There is an overflow parking lot at the top but it is quite a walk down at night and it is dark! We had to go buy a flashlight since we were pushing our son down the hill in his stroller
