Noelani has a perfect location in a quiet area, but where you can find everything you need around. We did walk to a couple of bars and restaurants, even thought I would still recommend to have a car to explore the Island. Is very family friendly, we enjoyed our late afternoons in the pool changing opinions and tips about Maui with the other guests. The whole condo and the apartment are very well maintained and the sunset views are gorgeous. The check in and the people working in Noelani where very nice and efficient, when we needed some help with a couple of broken things. The apartment has everything you need for preparing meals (even more that you really need for a light cooking).
The BEST part of Noelani, you can see turtles every morning right in your "backyard" (if you consider your backyard the tiny beach adjacent to the building). It was a precious surprise!
