The location and size of this apartment were great for me and my friend. It is right across from Kamaole Beach and within walking distance of several great breakfast, dinner, and happy hour options. I highly recommend Three's Bar & Grill, Kihei Caffe, Beach Street (for a quick breakfast), and Ohana Seafood Bar & Grill (try the happy hour and calamari). It was a quick drive to Makena Beach and the airport. Like others have mentioned you will hear the trash shute from the bedroom but it is not constant and did not bother me. Unfortunately, I had to work some of the trip and didn't get good internet even with the WiFi and the service on my phone hardly worked in the apartment. I hope no one else has to come to Hawaii and work so shouldn't be an issue for most. I would definitely stay here again!
