|Mar 2023Everything was good, except the car smelled like someone smoked in it heavily and they tried to take the smell away. The host was good and they rented me the car despite the fact that they were closed on my return date. Some rentals make you rent the car for 2 days since they are close pn Sunday. The car was clean and running well. They also gave me a free upgrade to a van.
