THE GOOD
- As described in the listing and accurate photos
- Has the basic necessities (refrigerator, microwave, kitchen w/ utensils, towels)
- Good starting point for the Road to Hana
THE BAD
- Too far to walk to Paia really
- Can easily hear neighbors
- Exterior looks a little sketchy
THE UGLY
- Incorrect instructions to access the unit
- Unresponsive host. After we failed to enter the unit using the instructions she gave us, we called her multiple times, attempted to leave a voicemail (her inbox was full), sent several text messages, as well as messages via the Airbnb app. She did not respond for a couple hours. (In fact, she also did not respond to a message we had sent about 6 hours earlier.) By this point, we were getting quite worried and started to search for alternate lodging arrangements, since there was only a 5% vacancy left on the island for that day, and didn't care to be sleeping in our car on the first night of our vacation. It was only after we had already driven back to Kahului did she finally text back with the correct code to get into the door.
CONCLUSION
- Highly disappointed with our stay here. We were on the island for a short amount of time and had to get to a wedding, so being unable to check in and having having a host who failed to respond for hours led to an unnecessarily stressful experience.
