We knew we had to meet the host for check in but felt overwhelmed by all the information and rules presented to us so we wished the check in process was more concise.
Convenient location, parking spot, and a coffee machine when we needed it for early morning activities like Haleakala. Laundry and pool access were great to have.
The building is a large complex with a lot of locals and airbnb guests coming in an out. Although there are quiet hours and most people follow the rules, the walls are so thin that we could hear people talking, music playing etc. We couldn’t really complain about the noise though because it happened during the designated hours (quiet hours are 10pm-8am) but being in a crazy time zone difference, we slept really early and had a hard time staying asleep when we could hear every sound from outside and next door. Even the yard water sprinklers are loud so we had to use our phone as a sound machine to block out the noise at night. That’s the structure of the thin walls and the whole complex so tbh, we knew there wasn’t much the hosts can do to help us even if we messaged them to let them know. It’s not like they can soundproof their unit.
The ACs are quiet and great to have two units. However whenever we ran them for too long both would start emitting a moldy smell. We let Forest know and he was very responsive and came over to check in a quick manner. You can tell Betsy and Forest take good care of their place and care about every detail.
Overall it was a decent stay and can see why others would like to stay here but it just ended up not being our preference.
