One of the main reasons for my poor review was because the door was left open at least 5 inches cracked open without being locked. As a New Yorker who cares about safety, this was a huge red flag because it was dark inside with the door cracked and we could not see inside until we stepped in. Our arrival was night time so it was dark outside too and I felt very scared entering in. These situations in New York would not fly and is a set up for intentional disaster/potential harm. I did not know if anyone was waiting for me inside so I urgently called dan, to which he responded “this is Maui, people don’t lock doors”. Luckily I was with a friend who was willing to check inside together, but we both felt unsafe entering.
The second big reason for my poor review was for cleanliness. The bed pillows had yellow stains so that made me question if the apartment was even cleaned. The floor did not feel clean as well, as a person who takes off shoes before entering a home. My foot was dark after walking around barefoot for a few minutes in the home. So just poor cleanliness and safety were big flags for me.
The biggest positive thing about this apartment tho was the convenience of the location, as it was walkable to a bunch of restaurants/attractions/beach. And the assigned parking was nice. But for the amount of money that I paid for the stay, I would book somewhere else next time.
