This apartment is centrally located in Kihei within walking distance to several nice restaurants and beaches. We loved that! The apartment had a little motel feel since the bedroom's only windows were along the exterior hallway. We were happy there wasn't more foot-traffic outside our bedroom, but since the hallways for all 7-8 floors were open-air and open to the parking lot, you did get some increased noise. The door also faces another apartment's door, so we had some noise from there (depends on who's there, I guess). The apartment was very functional and it was useful having a washer/dryer. We loved having snorkel gear and boogie board to use for our stay. Carolyn was very easy to communicate with and a very accommodating host!
