I stayed in two units at this place.
This is my review for Unit F.
I am a single traveler so this unit was great for my needs.
I brought way too
much luggage…so it was great to have the top bunk to put my luggage on and I unpacked and left my clothes up top. There is only one nightstand with one drawer for storage. The drawer was convenient for many things.
There was enough cookware to make a huge meal. I did not use any of it as I ate out. The strange thing is, the sink is in no way large enough to do dishes and it has a restricted drainage. When I would brush my teeth, turning the water off while brushing, the sink basin would drain slowly. Bottom line you would have to wash dishes in the shower, which does have great pressure. The shower also had the universal cold flow and pressure drop when others flush. Overall a good shower, though.
The A/C worked well. House rules are that you turn it off when you leave to adventure for the day, yet when I returned and turned it back on, the room cooled quickly. Loved that unit F had a ceiling fan!
The table and chairs I used for storage and non clothing items. I enjoyed the cute fish table cloth on the table.
From the outside this whole place, the AirBnB building does not look like much and there is much dust/dirt on the stairwell to all the units. The F unit was clean inside though.
Floyd is a great host who I interacted with on the phone while there for a few different things. Floyd is responsive and will help to solve problems. He was fantastic.
My only main issue was checking in. I think rather than explain what went wrong, I would rather give tips I wish I had used.
1) print out the check in info the moment you get it BEFORE you travel.
2) read it through thoroughly, understanding BOTH methods of entry. In my experience you will like one way more than the other….I used the physical keys and that worked better for me.
3) Remember to use your phone flashlight if arriving after dark. There is lighting, yet it was not enough for me to see to access the keys from the lock boxes.
4) use a highlighter to highlight your lock box and access codes. The directions are really long and you need to be able to locate these codes readily as you arrive to check in. This place is ALL automated and there is no one in an office or anything. Floyd will call you back and help you. I would have never gotten in otherwise.
By check out, you just reverse check in, so it is easier.
Random things that may be important.
There is MUCH NOISE here. This place is located in a residential neighborhood where several neighbors have roosters. They crow all hours of the day and night loudly.
I loved unit F because it was at the end of the hall. This equals more rooster noise, yet WAY LESS luggage noise as people check in and pull their luggage down the hall. This sounds like dead bodies being dragged by (the luggage noise).
So if noise is an issue, this is not the place for you.
I did eat a few meals from King’s BBQ. The food was good and the people that work there are really nice. I definitely recommend the restaurant. Plus they sell Coke by the can and small 20 oz. bottle, which really worked for me.
The final thing, I do like that the AirBnB descriptions Floyd lists are accurate. These are decent budget accommodations for the price.
I liked the location. I was there partly to see a friend who lives in Haiku. This location in Wailuku was great. I would launch out of here daily and I ran all over the island. Enjoyed Lahaina and
the resort areas and returned at night to rest and relax.
Thanks, Floyd.
