So, a few things you need to know from the start. First the owners gave us a very difficult time booking with their advertised AAA special rate. I had to jump thru a number of their hoops in order to get the rate. Also, until our arrival, we had no idea that we were renting someone's basement with a patio that overlooks/is next to a parking lot, with car horns lights and action at all hours. The property, although very well maintained, is in a rather seedy section of town ( the wealth gap in Maui is startling, there are the haves and the have nots, little in between) the streets in this area are filled with beat up cars and ratty poorly maintained homes. Due to Covid we had to cancel our visit in March 2020 . The owners of the property made it so difficult to cancel the first time (telling us to wait 6 to 8 months for a full refund, we spoke to the charge company and got our money back. Due to the low price, we decided to attempt a second booking, by then their rules had changed, allowing for easy cancelation so we decided to proceed in staying with them. Finally, at our contactless check in, the door to the property was deadbolted preventing us from picking up our key. We called the owners (who have had this property for some time now) they showed up and got us in. However, they said this had never happened before which I find very hard to believe. Clearly the property doors are setup in such a way that any guest could flick the latch and another new guest who does not yet have a hard set of keys, only the code to get thru the front gate, will be locked out at any time. We could have been stuck outside for hours, lucky for us the owners were near by. Ok, now for the accommodation's and food. The room was clean and well maintained. the sheets, bedspread and towels were of a good quality. The meals which were delivered to your door, much in the same way I imagine a prisoner would get theirs, were of a very good quality. In summary I would say If your cautious in your dealings with the property owners, you very well could get a decent and cheap place to stay in Maui.
