We are married couple Aleksandr and Svetlana sociable family and experienced travelers. We were born and brought up in St. Petersburg. We like to visit new places and communicate with people. We are interested in culture, art, architecture, national traditions and cuisine. We are really proud of our fabulous hometown and like to show it to our guests.
I have two degree as an electrical engineer and an economist and have been working a head of HR department for a long time.
Alex is an architect and designer. He is owner of a design studio. Also he had been working on TV and cinema industry. He is always joking around and good in any conversation.
We like to explore new places by foot or bicycle and live like locals.
We love our place and always take very good care of it. We don't eat in the slipping room or put our feet on the furniture, and we take off our shoes when we enter our home or someone else's. We mention this only to let you know that we will always take good care of your home and will treat it as if it were our own, and we would expect the same from whomever we host.
We are dog parents. Lorik was adopted in summer. He looks like miniature pinscher. We allow him to sleep on our bed.
