This was our first experience as guests with Airbnb so we weren't really sure what to expect. However we could not have hoped for a better introduction.

Livia's apartment is on a lovely, peaceful street in Queens, which is only a few minutes walk from Fresh Pond Road metro station and easy to get into Manhattan. The apartment itself is exactly as described and Livia was a fantastic host.

When we arrived (feeling pretty tired after our trip from London), Livia was so kind and welcoming; she even cooked us a lovely pasta dish for dinner so that we didn't have to go out. We had a great room with a comfy bed, flatscreen TV and plenty of storage space.

The next morning Livia greeted us with waffles and coffee before she headed off to work. It was a great way to start our first day in New York.

We stayed for just two nights but we would have loved to stay for longer so we could chat to Livia more about her journey from Romania to New York and life in general. The next time we are passing through we wouldn't hesitate to stay with Livia again, if she would have us back!

Thanks Livia.
