Kristen was an excellent host! She was very attentive and responded quickly anytime I needed anything. The car was nice, drove great, and pickup/drop-off was super easy. My car was being repaired, so having this available was truly a lifesaver. The convertible was so fun, and my kids and I absolutely loved it. I would definitely rent from her again if needed!
