Great hosts, organized and thorough about the check in/check out process, with good communication about expectations & details for the rental. The van was super, meticulously maintained, clean, well stocked and thoughtfully organized with labeling and information posted inside to make finding & operating things quick & easy. Everything was present & worked as advertised. I’d definitely rent this again & can recommend it to others.
