When we left Katya and Roman after 3 amazing weeks at their house, we felt like we were saying goodbye to our family members. We miss them already! The family is incredibly warm and generous, constantly doing everything they could to make us feel comfortable. Staying here, we had a great experience of cultural exchange. Katya is a excellent cook,… read more
