Location in Kihei is central and very accessible to the rest of Maui. It started raining after we arrived, so my partner and I had to change our plans on the spot. It was extremely helpful to stay in a central location and have great hosts who give us good recommendations for navigating the weather in Maui. The hosts are so friendly, communicative, accommodating, and with great sense of humor. The place is tastefully furnished and spotless with a lot of thoughtful touch, and not to mention Maxi makes the best banana bread and fig jam! :)
