Kaua's place is amazing. Out of the four places we just stayed on our trip to Maui, this by far was our favorite. Some of that was because it's in Hana, but the apartment was the nicest as well. Kaua was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or needs that we had.
There isn't anywhere to hang out outside of the loft, but there is a large screened in porch for eating , doing yoga, and even a sleeping porch with a comfy bed. There areas make up for not having a garden area. The size of the loft and the open floor plan made it almost feel as if we were outside.
The kitchen, bed, living area, and bath were all very nice with good linens and towels. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Although there is no air conditioning, there are an abundance of fans and so there was no need. Given where the loft was located we were anticipating bugs, but didn't run into any problems. There was bug spray provided if we had had any issues.
The location was great. Quiet and within a few minutes walk to "downtown" Hana and a five minute drive to Hamoa Beach. We had considered staying further out of town, but then the drive to the beach would have been much longer and it really was very quiet.
Our only complaint was that the lighting at night around the dining table was not sufficient. It was dark, but in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't stop us from renting from Kaua again. Inm fact, we hope to return and rent for an even longer period.
