First and foremost, I must say that it was pleasure both dealing with Silvia and staying at her apartment. I was in Hawaii for my best friend's wedding and decided to check AirBnB for an alternative to those pricey resorts. I'm lucky to have found Silvia's listing. Silvia was quick to respond to all inquiries. When the transaction was complete, she provided very helpful insight, including directions and places to do some quick supply shopping. The apartment was fully stocked with everything I needed. There were towels, soap, dish and dishwasher soap, pots and pans, plates, utensils, coffee and some spices in the cupboard, and even snorkel gear with some beach chairs and a cooler for going out. I took her advice, stocked up, and even prepared some meals on several occasions. There was thought put into this, and toward the end of my stay, the place began to almost feel like home. It's important to note that the unit does not have air conditioning. I didn't spend much time in the room aside for in the evenings to sleep, but Silvia provides a floor fan and the nights are cool, so this wasn't a big deal to me. The location was great and everywhere in Lahaina was easily accessible and no more than 10 minutes away (be sure to try the poke at the fish market across the street). Vacations are especially wonderful, when the place you're staying doesn't hinder or distract you from your plans and activities. All in all, my friend's wedding was a success, my first trip to Hawaii was a blast, and I can't wait to go back. Thank you again Silvia!
