Shantanu and his family were wonderful hosts! Even when my husband and I carelessly forgot to lock the door, (something we have never done before, nor ever will again!) they were extremely forgiving and accommodating. I had a very long, enjoyable conversation with his mother about meditation, and she suggested a retreat not far from us. Shantanu's beautiful wife, Mandvi, served us chai, and talked with us about her travels and their baby. If you want to stay at a lovely home where you are treated like family, this is the place for you!
