Michael's place was in a very convenient location. It was near shops and the beach. At one of the beaches we drove to (15 minutes away), we were able to see some sea turtles. The location was also near Maui Pie, one of the best pies I've ever had. It was also near a grocery store where we could get snacks and other food stuffs. The location had a convenient parking spot, and we were able to walk to the pickup location for a "Road to Hana" tour that we booked.
The only drawbacks was that the bedroom with the bunk beds was very hot at night despite closing the curtains and leaving the door open during the day. The air conditioner (located in the main room) wasn't able to cool the bedroom with the bunk beds. The bedroom may have been too far for the cool air to reach it. The other issue was the WiFi kept dropping despite numerous restarts of the router. I would restart the router, and the signal would drop 1/2 hr later. It wasn't a huge issue for us since we weren't there during the majority of the day.
