Paia in general and this apartment in particular were perfect for our trip to Maui, and Manolo was a great host.
Location: A convenient drive to any tourist destination on the island, but - more importantly for us - a relaxed, comfortable, beautiful place to avoid the crowds. Our apartment had a private patio with the sights, smells, and sounds that you imagine of Hawaii. The neighborhood was quiet, and each night we walked 5 minutes to town for amazing food (especially Flatbread and Cafe des Amis) and cheap groceries. Longer walk to Baldwin Beach but easy and fun.
Apartment: Comfortable bed and living space, newly done bathroom, basic kitchen tools, and of course the garden/patio area were lovely. Manolo was incredibly accessible, and in addition to the beach towels and cooler already in our room, he loaned us 2 boogie boards to take to the beach. (Note to light sleepers: bring earplugs if you don't want the songbirds of Hawaii to wake you up - no AC means you'll likely keep the windows open.)
We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything Manolo!
