Livia is one of the best people I've had the pleasure to stay with. she is warm, hospitable, and very generous. Livia invited me to hang out with her and her friends for an evening when I would be just hanging out at this house. This is only one of many examples of how nice of a person and wonderful host she is. What's more, Livia is a fantastic cook and makes amazing breakfasts. When I come back to NY I will plan well ahead so I can be sure to rent her room again. Don' take your chances with someone who looks a sketchy. Go with Livia and you will have a first rate NY experience. Yeah Livia!
