First let’s start with the positives : The host was very responsive. We had issues with the key lock code not working and he sent someone over quickly. If you don’t mind the highway you are ideally located across from a fabulous local store with great coffee, food and gift items and only a quick mile into the cute town of Paia.
Now to the not so positives: the house was very run down. The front yard was a mess and the current pictures of the outside- not at all accurate. This was true for the inside decor as well which was devoid of anything charming. The front house had junk on the side and looked uninhabited. In addition, there were mice in the house and we were sitting at the dining room table as one ran across the kitchen countertop! We had no open food out, fortunately but it did upset us considerably. In addition, we had to buy our own shower soap so our first shower was without soap- a necessary amenity that is standard to all the Airbnb’s we have been in before. In short- go in with realistic expectations and it’s fairly workable
