Volodymyr is excellent host and his vehicle is top of the line Hyundai Tucson, a hybrid version with very low mileage and extremely excellent condition. Enjoyed our seven days trip in a nicely maintained vehicle with absolutely no issues. Volodymyr was very responsive for any question we had. We will definitely select this vehicle for our next trip to NL.
