Saichi's place is in a central location and the unit is accurate as shown in the pictures. There are a lot of amenities provided as well. The check-in process is smooth and Saichi is a warm and communicative host. Our stay would have been pleasurable and this review would've been a 5-star if not for the ongoing cockroach issue mentioned in the other reviews. We killed around 6-14 roaches a night here and found cockroach droppings littered in the utensils drawers. The experience significantly hindered our stay in Hawaii.
To Saichi's credit, he did make the effort to address the issue by coming up twice to clean, giving us additional cleaning supplies, and setting traps. However, the issue persisted. The host's stance on this is that it is a common way of life on a tropical island, which we cannot agree on. But he did state that additional pest control will be performed over the coming months.
A reminder for future guests to utilize the Aircover coverage within 72 hours if this issue persists in the future.
