The car itself was beautiful, a smooth drive, and pretty new. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would use them again. We did have a lot of tech issues with the Bluetooth connecting, even after we bought a cord to connect with apple/android auto. The hosts offered for us to bring it in, so they can see if it was something they could fix. Overall, excellent trip, and would highly recommend.
