Great Location! It's a lovely spot to start out the road to Hana and come back just in time for a walk out the back (maybe 2 minutes max) to Mama's Fish House for dinner.
We walked several mornings also to the nearby Kuau Store (also maybe 2 mins max) for quick breakfast and lunch items. Delicious smoothies, juices and sandwiches for a price, although comparable to the rest of Maui.
The nearby highway can be heard from the main bed, but the sofa bed in the living room made for comfortable sleeping arrangements. We also appreciated the provided AC unit and assigned parking.
The kitchen was fully equipped for gourmet meals to be made at home. Just properly store your food to prevent ants surfacing from the crevices! It is Hawaii after all. I concur that is beautifully renovated.
The bathroom was comfortable enough. Also ants present here, and we would have appreciated it to be wiped down prior to our stay.
Mauricio allowed for early check in and was easy to contact the beginning of the trip. We had also eventually negotiated for an emergency early check out.
Overall the space was definitely worth its value in Paia.
