Best host I've ever coordinated with on any site. Extremely accommodating and was very responsive. He made the delivery and pickup process seamless. The RV was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend with my wife and toddler. Plenty of space and sleeping was quite comfortable. RV was exactly as advertised and everything worked well without issue. 100% would use Janusz again without hesitation. He's the absolute nicest and best host!
