the location of this house is great. close to downtown paia (11 min walk) and makawao (15 min drive). but the house itself lacks ‘aloha’. it feels like a fake house, without amenities that you would consider standard (no shampoo and conditioner, no dish soap on the counter, etc.). there are also laminated rules and emergency exit signs posted all over the house. it feels like you’re living in a hostel or dorm with strict rules. it wasn’t the most comfortable stay.
