Manolo has been great with communication as a host. He welcomed my girlfriend and I even when arrived quite late and responsive to any questions we had. The house is about 20 min walk to Paia Fish Market, Flatbread Comapny, and Ululani’s shaved ice. It was bummer though that the room had tiny ants crawling around the kitchen area (even when we had no food out) and tiny flies flying around the bathroom. We weren’t notified when we booked this place that there will be ants in the house which would’ve been a dealbreaker for us since we had pre-ordered thirty dollar worth of donuts and left it on the kitchen countertop because the icing would melt off in the car. It was the worse mistake. Ants already weaved its way into the donut box even when we tried to prevent it by wrapping it with aluminum foil. Also, the room smells a bit mildewy (especially by the sink area) and the bathroom smelled like piss ever since the day we walked into the place. It’ll be best if the bathroom curtains could be changed for more privacy, even the curtain in the room is sort of see through. Never know if there will be any peeping toms even if it’s a private property. There is also a washer and dryer to be used on the premises, but it’s restricted from 3PM - 9PM. It wasn’t a problem for us, but we did had to move our itinerary around to fit the laundry schedule.
