When I book an AirBnB I go off of what the advertisement states. Under the stated “Amenities” it states there is “air conditioning” and “free parking on premises”. But then after booking I received an email stating the air conditioning is only in the main sitting room and the parking is first come first serve. Now the stress level starts for me. I don’t know what Maui is like. I don’t know if it will be so humid and hot that I cannot sleep. I don’t know if this place will be highly impacted by tourists parking their cars. My husband then had to spend time researching other parking options in the area. Then what really sucks is that I could not get a full refund of my money if I wanted to cancel (I want my fees included in this refund), so I had to keep my booking. My partner and I went on our babymoon and the entire time we were not able to sleep because the bedroom was so hot. And to add to the mix the window curtains were anything but helpful when trying to sleep in and let in all the light. So by 6:30am-7am, when the sun is up, so are you.
I do admit the unit was very clean. Also Tiffany did let me in to the unit early before the scheduled check-in, which was very kind.
Overall, Maui is a beautiful destination, but would I stay at this Airbnb again, no! I honestly felt a little lied to. Would I use Airbnb again? No. How can I take a chance? I want to go on vacation to relax, not be so hot and sleep deprived that I need another vacation when I get back home. Next time I’ll just book a hotel.
