"We had some issues at check-in because his cleaning lady had not come (totally not his fault), but he was quick to call and offer solutions, even offered to have her come in, but we didn't mind cleaning once everything was cleared up. The location of the camper was so convenient. We could get to town and everything we needed so easily without all the traffic. The host was amazing and communicated quickly with us."
