Nichols’s place was awesome! To begin with the positives- his unit (#206) was clean for the most part, his lanai had a great view of the beach and mountains behind. His kitchen had utensils for anything you wished to cook/bake, even some basic spices. He had all necessary beach amenities. Proximity to different places on the island was also very good. There is a very nice Indian restaurant at the basement, Monsoon India, which was excellent. However, there was a cleaning person blowing dust/leaves (not sure what), 2 buildings North, every morning around 8 am for more than an hour and so we had to get up to the sound of very loud vacuum cleaner. It was difficult to keep the lanai door open during that time. (Somebody should tell that building/person that he is way above the acceptable decibel level). Also, in the night when it is quiet you can hear very loud water draining sound in the bedroom and we had no idea where it was coming from and woke us up a couple of times (if you are a light sleeper). Lastly, we were a bit disappointed on the checkout rules- asking us to keep all items in its exact original location, clean all utensils/turn on dishwasher, not leave a single trash bag in the unit, put all towels only at a specific spot (etc.). Makes it difficult for people on vacation and concentrate on so many checkout tasks (when we are already paying cleaning fee). Finally, the bathroom air filters are definitely way overdue for a change. Overall, still an amazing place to stay and I would recommend Nicholas’s place! Mahalo.
