We originally booked an Airbnb in Paia far in advance but it got cancelled a couple weeks before our trip. This Airbnb was the only affordable place left besides tents and camper vans. Kepeli was very helpful, communicated well, and was responsive. Overall our trip went smoothly and the Airbnb was conveniently located and served its purpose as a place for us to stay.
However, there were some minor issues with the apartment. The mattress was old and caves in towards the middle. There was a distinct smell in the living room that wasn't unbearable but was a little strange. There was a very strong, musky air freshener scent in the bedroom. And it wasn't a quiet neighborhood with various noises late at night and early in the morning. Again, it wasn't a terrible experience and my trip went smoothly, but given the choice I would probably not stay here again.
