***My location zip is 90042, Highland park metro station. Metro goes to Pasadena, Downtown LA and Hollywood. Santa Monica and Venice are not really accessible from here by public transport.

***I have a little evil dog that often mistakes guests for intruders and actually bites, so I can only host if you know and love dogs and ready to deal with a fearful dog carefully.

I am originally from St Petersburg, Russia, I lived in California for over 20 years. I currently live by myself in a two bedroom, so I thought it is a great time to have guests. I work from 10.30 to 7.30 on weekdays so ideally you plan your arrival accordingly. Evenings or weekends I may be able to give you a ride somewhere. I can provide a place to crash and some food to share, but I do not promise any entertainment or showing around town. I may, but I may be too busy or not in the mood, so you should not count on it. I prefer independent guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because I like to have guests now and then and I think couchsurfing it is a cool way to travel!
