  Description

  My name is Katerina.
  I live with my 12-year-old son near Brisbane city.
  I am originally from Russia, my son is Australian.
  We like travelling, nature, and animals.
  Our place is conveniently located - within walking distance from the Central Station and Brisbane City attractions. We have a spare bedroom in our 2-br apartment available for guests.
  We prefer to have male guests who have common interests with my son. We can host one person at a time.
  Please check my calendar. It is unlikely that I can offer you accommodation if the month is marked brown. Also, I can't plan for more than a month ahead.

  Help

  Help with cleaning the place. You may cook together with my son or take him somewhere with you to explore the area. If you are advanced in science, programming or computer games, my son will be happy to talk to you. He is quite mature, so it won't be like babysitting.

  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.

• 

  What else ...

  The guest should be a non-smoker. It means the guest doesn't smoke at all.
  We have quiet time from 8:30 pm to 7 am and in the morning when my son has online classes.
