This apartment is ideally located to walk into Paia and enjoy all its great shops and places to eat. Manola was absolutely charming and really helpful, allowing us to store our luggage after we checked out, offering great advice on the best local beaches and attractions, and even warning us about the local spiders, which we later encountered in the bathroom and are huge! My only minor criticisms would be that the second 'bedroom' in the apartment is on the small side and the apartment (when you add cleaning fee etc.) was one of the more expensive places we stayed in Hawaii, which included some pretty swanky hotels. But, overall if you want a home from home near fabulous Paia (which we loved) this apartment is great!
