The pros:
Ida, Arnold and Milan, the caretakers were responsive, and very kind and welcoming. They are gems.
The unit is centrally located near everything.
Lots of free bikes, boogie boards, and beach stuff.
Pretty paintings throughout.
Fully equipped kitchen.
Comfy bed. Free wifi.
The cons:
Hot and very stuffy.
You can't open windows due to noise, lack of privacy, height of windows, and all the windows are over commercial buildings, or the laundry area.
No air flow. We left the front door open a lot but gave up any sense of privacy. You face another apartment 5 ft away.
The tiny, old air conditioner struggled to keep up. It was useless and incredibly noisy, like a truck in the room. The caretakers are thinking of replacing it but as I look back at previous reviews I see that others mention it being too small to keep up. So, check on it before you agree if it's important to you.
No good outdoor lounging area. One outdoor area is right next to the laundry and the other BBQ area is in the parking field.
No comfy outdoor lounge furniture.
No dresser for clothes. Just a closet with hanging space.
We love Kauai and all the beauty it offers, especially being outdoors. This apartment is good for an indoor kind of lifestyle person.
