Host sent me videos ahead of the visit to show the check in process and all the amenities. The bus was awesome and my son and I will be back for sure. The outdoor shower was great pressure/temp and easy to use. The BBQ worked great for a couple steaks/ zucchini/baked potato. Bus was clean and AC worked well. Host texted after we got there to assure that everything was perfect. and told us some local activities. Best host ever and one of the most interesting places I've ever stayed!
