Yuana was a good host, very responsive, and the location of her place was close to everything.
I booked this place after reading tons of amazing 5 star reviews. I really wanted love this place, but I had too many issues.
Some of the issues I had was in regards to cleanliness and the accuracy of the listing.
There is no AC in the bedroom, and it does get hot and stuffy. There is a shutter type of window next to the bed, but it is sealed shut and extremely dusty. There was a standing fan that was in the room, but it was also EXTREMELY dusty, it looked like it hasn't been clean in weeks if not months. We had to turn the AC in the living room on high and sleep with the bedroom door with both ceiling fans on. We were a party of 3, which kinda of disrupted our individual privacy. When we got into the bedroom only 2 out of the 3 lights worked, which made the room very dark. We were offered a solution to go purchase lightbulbs on our own and replace them for a reimbursement, but honestly, we just dealt; buying lightbulbs were not on our vacation itinerary.
PS: the ceiling fan in the room gets loud when you turned to medium or high speed. It would make a clacking noise.
We had a rough start the first night, because we checked in late, but we also didn't know how to operate the shower. The shower system is nothing I have encountered before, and I don't believe it is a very common system in general, maybe it has to do with the bathroom outdated or the way the entire condo is setup. You have to pull the faucet ring in the shower in order for the water to flow out of the shower head. It's a complicated system, that I couldn't figure out and had contact the host in order to figure it out. I read in another review that there is a weird bathroom odor that comes out from the shower drain, and I can say that I have experienced the smell.
Even though I had a few bumps on my stay, I can say that there are some things that I enjoyed. The kitchen was definitely fully stocked with all types of utensils. The convenience of having a washer dryer, partial view of the ocean and the location was everything. The location of this BnB was definitely close to everything, the beach was across the street, the gas station was down the block, and there were eateries all along the S Kihei road, where the BnB is located.
Overall, I think for the value it was not worth it. For the price, I believe you could get something better.
