The apartments was as presented. An easy 1/2 mile walk into the center of Paia. Many restaurants and shopping in town, including a grocery store. There is a wonderful outdoor restaurant just 1/2 block up country. They serve breakfast and lunch and have a fresh fruit stand.
Parking was a very short walk away. We enjoyed not being on the south coast with all of the traffic and tourists, though Paia has become a bit of a traffic/tourist magnet of it's own.
