Marat is an awesome host! Incredibly hospitable, really knowledgeable, very flexible and with a great sense of humour. I felt like I was a home while staying in Astrakhan, and I laughed the whole time. Marat is the kind of person you'll want to visit again!

Начали общаться как старые друзья ещё за месяц до моего приезда. А по приезду, я почти все время (когда не спала) смеялась. 😁 Марат помог раскрыть мой неожиданный талант в Танках на Денди, рассказал и показал кучу всего интересного про город, перезнакомил с друзьями (особенно с Радой, его собакой), организовал мне экскурсии, и не давал мыть посуду. Я отлично отдохнула 😁😁, и думаю это знакомство на жизнь 👍

Jankka received me in Kaliningrad despite being incredibly busy. She kept me informed of the situation, and gave clear instructions, and I had a warm, quiet, and very pleasant evening alone in her flat. The place has all the usual amenities, and is very comfortable.

The next day I moved on to my next host, as planned, but Jankka joined us in the evening, so I got a chance to spend some proper time with her. She's a lovely, sunny person. Very positive, and full of energy and good humour. She's a true inspiration. :)

Jankka, I very much look forward to seeing you again and traveling together one day soon! :))
