Staying with Livia was like staying with family. She was a gracious hostess with a warm and inviting living space. Her apartment was very clean and quiet and the bedroom was so welcoming after spending a long day sightseeing in the city. I would love to go back to NY again, and when I do there is no doubt that I would go back to Livia's. I really enjoyed walking around her neighborhood and it was fun eating at some of the restaurants close by. (and they didn't break the bank).
