It amazes me how many people cannot make the distinction between live and stay. It is quite common to hear people tell you that they are "living" in a hotel and they "stay" in San Francisco! People tend to use these two words interchangeably. In reality, these two words have completely different meaning.
Proper use is as follows:
My parents live in San Jose, California.
I am visiting Boston for next few days. I am staying at Hyatt in Cambridge.
Understand very well that "stay" indicates temporary residence and "live" indicates more permanent residence.
