Manolo was a very friendly and detailed host. He met up with us to show us how to close the gates properly and walk us through the Airbnb. The studio is cute and charming, as well as comfortable. Spiral staircase was cute! Love the loft layout. We had the outdoor area to ourselves just outside the sliding glass doors, and all the greenery was lush and can be seen from the windows. There was no AC but the studio is relatively cool compared to the outside, and the fans cool up the place very nicely! Didn't miss it. The furniture/decor reminds me of the Airbnbs we have stayed at in Italy but with an islander twist (which shouldn't be a surprise since Manolo is Italian). It's a home with a lot of charm. Walls and doors could use a fresh coat of paint, but it kind of adds to the charm of the place being a little rustic and beachy? He provided a cooler and snorkeling gear (remember to disinfect them before use because of covid!) and a boogie board as well. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash was provided in hotel sized bottles, but the body wash was half filled. I'm pretty sure if you ask Manolo would be happy to provide more amenities. We brought our own mostly, so it wasn't an issue at all. In terms of cooking, we didn't cook anything so I can't remember if there was a hot plate or pots/pans/oil/spices. There was definitely a microwave and toaster oven though! And a mini fridge with small freezer. It suited our needs. As with any tropical place with plants and things right at your doorstep, remember to use bug spray, and don't leave the doors open unless there's a mesh door. We didn't really have any issues inside, but did get some bug bites while outside. You can walk to the boutique area of Paia easily, like 10-15 min walk or so? Such a cute and convenient place to stay! Super easy drive to the Twin Falls, and easy to start off your Road to Hana trip from here as well. We had dinner at Nuka in nearby Haiku and it was only about a 16 min drive. Overall a convenient, comfortable and charming place to stay!
