Description
My name is Katerina.
I live with my 15-year-old son in Chermside. It is about 20 minutes by bus to Brisbane city.
I am originally from Russia, my son is Australian.
We like travelling, nature and animals.
Please check my calendar. It is unlikely that I can offer you accommodation if the month is marked brown.

Accommodation
Private room in a 2-bedroom apartment.
We don't provide food. The guest can buy and cook their own food. We may share food if the guest would like to, but it may be difficult as we are not good eaters.
We have a big fluffy cat, so our place may not be good for guests with allergies or sensitivity to smells. We also have a marine fish tank and stick insects.
What else ...
The guest should be a non-smoker. It means the guest doesn't smoke at all. Please don't bring alcohol to our place and don't drink too much outside as we are sensitive to smells.
Please be quiet when my son has online classes.
