I had a great time with this RV. Matej was very helpful and responsive with the (very few) issues I had during the trip. Would recommend and might book again if I happen to come to the Island again :)

Matej was the best host we could ask for. He answered every question we has within second and could always help us out of trouble. We would love to come back and do the same trip again with the RV! 100% recommend!
