The host is a friendly English speaking retired university teacher. If you are looking for a safe, comfortable and inexpensive family-type accommodation, we strongly recommend this option. East, Metro Baumanskaya or Kurskaya. A room in a 2-room apartment. Also, the connoisseurs of morbid humour may want to see the Russian Misery files.
Additional services are available or can easily be arranged.
Do let me know. All service personnel, even the plumber, speak some English, German, or French. Circumstances permitting, I personally meet our clients at the airport and always monitor them throughout their trip. Please help us in making Russia open and affordable by sharing your needs, interests and concerns with us.
