This was a return trip to the Kaanapali Alii so we knew we were in for a treat. We had heard good things about this particular unit from friends that had stayed and it did not disappoint. The unit is completely upgraded with all the comforts of home including complimentary wireless and phones. The kitchen is fully equipped including a wine fridge and stand alone ice-maker. The showers are amazing and the beds were the most comfortable of any place I've ever stayed. There wasn't much need for interaction with the host but we had his contact information and were able to get a hold of him to confirm check-in on the day of our arrival. I wasn't sure this was necessary but received an email from airbnb telling me to do so.
