Mauricio's place was comfortable, well located, and easily accessible from the airport in Kahului. We only had a couple of days to spend in Maui and wanted a place near the Road to Hana - and this was right on it! There was a local market nearby within walking distance and the center of the small, quaint town of Paia was just a little over a mile away. Mauricio was available for communication if needed (we didn't - but it was nice to have it if needed) and you can tell he spent a lot of time and thought in decorating the place. We were only there for two days but had a great time. Mauricio is a great host. If you have a couple of days to spend on Maui and want to be on the North shore, this should be on your list.
