The location of Lidia's place was important to our selection. Also, the accommodations were economical. The listing stated that "quests could cook their own meals", but one of Lidia's rules was that the kitchen was to be used only for breakfast. The accommodations included a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. There was no general living area to relax other than the outdoor patio. Both Lidia and Salvatore were very gracious.
