Very central location that made it easy to get to the airport, Princeville/Hanalei to the north, Poipu to the south and to the state parks. The surrounding neighborhood is definitely not resort-like, if that’s what you’re going for (the apartments are tucked behind a gas station, Burger King and adult shop), which was fine for my mom and me — we liked the walkability to coffee shops and restaurants and the oceanfront bike path, and it felt like living among locals for the most part. The unit is a bit shabby and small; there isn’t really a common area except for the kitchen and enclosed patio. Some of the utensils and plates were dirty when we arrived, and I messaged the host in advance of our arrival a couple of times and never received a response, which was unusual. But overall, the unit was sufficient for our stay as we were out most of the time. And we adored the cats, particularly the two calicos.
