Silvia - as well as her apartment at Paki Maui in Honokowai - was outstanding. Here are a couple of quick thoughts on our experience that might help: 1) Silvia was extraordinarily communicative and helpful. She emailed me regularly and responded quickly when I had questions or concerns prior to the trip, as well as once we were at the apartment. We had a couple of small issues regarding parking and wifi (just questions I hadn't asked beforehand) while we were there; I sent Silvia an email expecting a response sometime later in the week, and within an hour I received an email, a voicemail, and a phone call follow-up to make sure I had gotten the email and voicemail! Silvia was exceptional in her communication. Prior to the trip, we even got an email letting us know that her management company had found small cracks in the stovetop and that she had them leave a temporarily plug-in stovetop for our use - and she offered to refund part of the stay if that wasn't sufficient for us! What great communication. 2) The apartment itself was beautiful and clean. It's smaller than it looks, but you don't need anything bigger. It's larger and cleaner than your typical hotel room in Maui, and for significantly less money. The initial thinking was that there would be some trade-offs or sacrifices for getting such a good deal, but my wife and I found that this was actually a SUPERIOR experience to staying at a resort or hotel on Maui. No crazy fees, parking right in front of our place, plenty to do in walking distance, and the ground-floor apartment made it easy and quick to get in and out. 3) The neighborhood - Honokowai - was safe, well-lit, and stocked full of things to do. We found the Bad Ass Coffee Company about a block away, an ABC store just down the street, several great restaurants (Pizza Paradiso, Java Jazz, Okazuya, Fish House), a farmer's market, a full-on grocery store, and a great beachside park all within walking distance. We couldn't have asked for a better location! No matter where we stay next year, we almost certainly will find a place in Honokowai again. 4) There were lots of people around at all hours of the day (not in a nagging kind of way, in a safe-and-surrounded kind of way). I went for a jog several mornings and there were always smiling, happy people waving aloha and enjoying the beautiful mornings. Even the construction crew working in the neighborhood said hello and cracked a joke about the coffee-shop as we walked by. My only issue with Silvia's place, as I mentioned to her, was the wifi. Even though the amenities list says there's wifi, it's not technically her wifi that's accessible. While several of the apartments have their own dedicated connections (you'll see "Unit 115", "Unit 104", etc), Silvia's does not. There is a "Paki Maui" wifi network available to all the residents...
