The apartment was beautifully renovated and very well appointed. Excellent furnishings, firm, but comfortable beds, everything you could need for a stay on Maui! Importantly, compared to a lot of other listings I looked at, it was CLEAN with NO BUGS!!!
The balcony is nice and has a limited view of the ocean (and an expansive view of the neighboring property's hedge, 15 feet away). I would hesitate to call it a "Garden View" given the view from the balcony and the fact that the front door opens to the stairwell.
My only issue was that, with limited exposure to the breeze off the ocean, due to being at the back of the building, there wasn't much of a cross-breeze. With no air-conditioning, it got quite stuffy until later at night, even with the ceiling fans on. Opening the windows in the bedroom helps some, particularly later at night, but also lets a lot of noise from the nearby road and people going up and down the hallway nearby into your room, right above your head. As long as you are not a light sleeper, you should be fine though - in spite of the above inconveniences, I managed to sleep well.
The property itself was very nice - didn't use the pool, but it looked nice, and my kids really enjoyed strolling around the gardens, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunset views from the beach. I would likely stay here again, especially given the limited options on Maui when we booked - a couple of portable fans would be a game-changer!
