Pros: I liked that it was fast, convenient and affordable. Would definitely use Wanderu and Amtrak again! Cons: A little cleaning between stops or things for cleaning. Some improvement on the Wi-Fi connection- it was a bit spotty. Tips: If you're thinking about it, just do it. It is worth the money and time.
