The location is great! Beautiful sunsets every night. But within 2 hours of our arrival, the power went off and stayed off for 22 hours. No TV, no coffee, no hot water, no A/C. Residents told us that rolling power outages are not unusual. The entire Lahaina area and north were out.The kitchen and bathrooms are updated, but the rest of the unit is original. Air conditioners are old and noisy, with visible ductwork on the walls. It appeared that the one in the primary bedroom had a leak that worked its way into the wall. The windows are original and screen doors don't fit well, so we used a rolled-up towel under the front door to keep critters out.The kitchen is reasonably well-equipped, with dishes for at least 3 people, some spices and oil. Detergent was supplied for laundry, dishes and dishwasher. We were responsible for washing dishes, sheets and towels before leaving, which was ok.Because of the noisy air conditioner, we turned off the one in our bedroom at night and turned on the one in the other bedroom.Beware getting too friendly with the next door neighbor. She was nice at first but talkative, and she became very aggressive about her politics. In the end we avoided each other.Maui itself is difficult to get around, with a mostly 2-lane road around the perimeter (but not completely around!) and traffic can be very slow some times of the day. Getting to other areas of the island requires driving back to the airport and looping around from there.
