this place is really great - very clean, big and comfortable, we were 3 adults and it was just perfect for us. The location is best if you plan to go to Hana and around the east coast (airport, Kahului, etc.) although southern part of Maui is also easily accessibe by car within less than 1hour. There is not much life ina walking distance from this place, but you need to have a car when visiting Maui anyways. It is very close to Paia - a hippie nice small town with many bars, pubs, shops and restaurants and also a good starting point for a trip to Hana...much better than starting in south (Kihei) or Lahaina, or Kanaapali. It s also quite close by car to go to Haleakala summit (90min. drive). the only thing missing in the place is the basic cooking supplies (salt, sugar, pepper, oil), but there was a instant coffee waiting for us. I reccomend this place, it looks much better in reality than on pictures:)
