We never met Rani, but her husband was very welcoming and gave a lot of suggestions on things to do in the area. The location felt very private since the room is on its own floor. We loved the ability to use the kitchen. Must love cats! They stated this in their listing but just to emphasize, their cats were super sweet and friendly, but if you don't like cats its just not the place for you. They gave us a complimentary bottle of wine which rounded out our pleasant stay!
