The view was lovely and Viktoria was always extremely helpful and responsive.
We wouldn't stay at this unit again but Viktoria's remodeled units would probably be much nicer.
Overall, I think the listing photos are dishonest and it is definitely overpriced. The apartment isn't worth the view and dampened our experience in Maui.
When we first entered, there were crumbs and a gum wrapper on the floor and an unpleasant smell of spices in the air. When I notified Viktoria, a housekeeper came right away and cleaned the floor. The smell went away a little after that, but it lingered on the bed linens and the sofa during our whole stay. There were also crumbs in the refrigerator that we didn't notice until our second day. The bed sheets and blankets were old and stained. The sheets were pilling. There were stains on the doors, curtains, and the bathtub, which wasn't clear from the listing photos. The wood in the master bath was also bloated from water/steam damage. There are no full photos of the bathrooms in the listing, so we weren't aware of this at time of booking. The bathrooms didn't have any bath mats so it was hard to keep the floors dry. No mats in the inside of the front door either or any carpets. There were a lot of ants, too; we stayed on a remote farm in the mountains on Big Island and didn't see nearly as many ants. We also saw one cockroach even though we kept the screen door closed whenever we used the lanai. The door to the lanai doesn't lock. There is a stick you have to put on the track for the sliding door as a means of "locking" it. We didn't feel unsafe exactly, but I feel this should have been mentioned in the listing as this is a ground floor unit.
It's not the kind of apartment I ever expected to be on Airbnb any time I've used the app for vacations. But again, Viktoria was a great host.
