Very nice and very accommodating! Michael is an excellent host. This was our second time renting Thing 2 from Michael, and it could not have been better. This vehicle was spotlessly clean inside and out when we arrived. Michael is intimately familiar with the vehicles systems and does a great job explaining how everything works. We look forward to coming back again and we would highly recommend both Michael as a host and Thing 2 as a Van/RV/Life machine!! It's an incredible experience.
