This is a spacious apartment with a comfortable bed. The location is great for the Road to Hana and Haleakala NP. We are however not giving a 5 star review because of the following reasons:
Communication: the welcome message was extremely long and has comments on 'how to get a 5 star review as a guest'. In combination with the hosts's replies to other guests' reviews, this all felt a bit intimidating and not positive.
Accommodation: There are several things that are outdated / need replacement: the airco unit (makes strange noises and does not cool efficiently), the bathtub (stains), the couch (smells), the (screen) doors in the bedroom to the balcony (very hard to open and close).
Cleaning crew: We felt the cleanliness can improve. There were for instance quite some hairs in the bed. In addition, while we were instructed to check out by 11 am and send a check out message upon departure, the cleaning crew already entered the unit before 9 am on the day of check out. The host did apologize for this and indicated to re-instruct the cleaning crew, so this was solved in an appropriate manner.
