Car was perfect - just as described, clean, and worked well. Host provided a link to a perfectly themed playlist for our trip. Owner responded to all messages and questions. He was more than helpful and accommodating for a drop off place convenient to me. He found 2 items we left in the car and brought them back to the airport for us. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again!
