Good location but not for walking. No sidewalks and not around any store’s. Beach is across the road but it’s not Maui’s best at all. Good value for the apartment but only a good deal due to covid and the total decline in tourist.
The top bedding was musky on both beds. Asked the host about this and was told simply that they only got washed about once a month (even during covid) and that hotels did the same because they would take too long to dry between guest. #1 - Hotels don’t give you a list of chores to due for checking out. The host gave us a list before checking out that included - taking out trash, putting a load of dirty towels in and running dishwasher.
Now I would do most of that anyway without being asked, but the cleaning fee was $200 for the two nights we stayed. Which came out to way more than our stay. We were told that even with super low nightly fees that the cleaning fee stood the same. Ok.... But why am I doing most of the cleaning, being charged a cleaning fee, and still having to sleep on a smelly bed? The smell was strong of other people’s body oils and I was totally grossed out by this. Especially during covid. And because it’s Hawaii in the summer, the AC needed to be on. There were no extra blankets to keep warm and was just too warm to sleep with AC off. Also we had trouble with the WiFi and T.V the whole stay. The remote batteries were all dead or broken. I told the host about this and his reply was that everything was working fine for his last guest who was a blogger and was constantly on the WiFi. He said he would be willing to come by later after he put his son to bed. Which would have been 3 - 4 hrs later. So around 9:30pm which was too late for us. It was the evening of my birthday and we were checking out the next morning. This was meant to be a short and sweet birthday getaway,
In the end I was definitely underwhelmed by this stay. All I wanted to do was chill with my best friend in the hot tub and watch Netflix. But the Netflix was super glitchy and did not work, and the hot tub only allowed two persons at once (due to covid) and was always occupied. After checking out the host gave us half the cleaning fee back ($100) which was helpful.
