It’s easy to summarize our stay in one word: perfect. Imane’s place provided a lovely home base for exploring the beautiful island, and our only regret is that we did not have more time to spend there.
Firstly, the location is great. Kihei is a lovely area, better than many travel guides indicate. It has a nice local and laid back vibe and provides a number of nice beaches, good restaurants, supermarkets and other services. Also, it is very central and only a short drive away from many of the other attractions that the island has to offer.
Secondly, the apartment in itself is super convenient and cosy. It is even nicer than in the pictures, and has everything you need for a nice vacation, including beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler. The washer and the dryer make it possible to travel light. The air conditioning helps keeping the apartment cool, although mostly it was sufficient just to open the lanai doors and let the breeze in. It’s also very quiet and peaceful, not once did we hear anything from the other apartments.
Thirdly, when it comes to the host, Imane’s communication was prompt and clear, and we really appreciated the instructions provided that were detailed and accurate.
All in all, we couldn’t have hoped for a better start for our vacation and recommend Imane’s place warmly for others as well.
