We're so happy we decided to stay on this part of the island for a more low key experience (versus some of the other more touristy locations). We enjoyed how easy it was to get to great hikes off the road to Hanna, Paia restaurants and beaches, and the Upcountry botanical garden and farmer's market. The one big draw back, and it's a big one (!) that I didn't quite take seriously when booking after reading other reviews, is the traffic noise. It was almost unbearable for me. I think because the house is situated on an uphill main road, you can hear cars revving their engines as they make their way to the top. The saving grace is that with ear plugs, the bedroom door shut, and the loud nature sounds at night, the noise was drowned out a bit. I would definitely recommend staying her unless you need quiet. If you need quiet stay somewhere else! (one perk is that the road is concealed by a bunch of bamboo so at least you don't see the traffic). Holly is a very kind and responsive host.
