The best part about our stay with Marianne was our interaction with her - engaging conversation, valuable insider tips and a small tour of their wonderful art collection! She is well traveled and knowledgeable, and was very enthusiastic in helping us plan our activities. We checked in rather late at night, but she made sure she was around to welcome us in. She brewed us some tea the next morning, and offered us toast as well. The Mountain View room is exactly as described in the AirBnB listing. The only thing to be aware of is that the bathroom is shared with other guests (as mentioned in the listing). The location is charming, much cooler than West and South Maui (a blessing while sleeping at night), and perfect for visits to Haleakala, Hana, the upcountry farms and Paia. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here!
