(Yet another) Olga's Baikal Guesthouse – Listvyanka

Despite the difficulty we had in finding this place (see entry "A Fish Called Omul" about Listvyanka), it turned out ok.

Olga, of course Olga, runs a nice little homestay in Listvyanka. It's about 15 minutes from the center of the village, but right down the street from the shore line. She has two twin rooms that are available for visitors. It's very clean and the bathroom has heated floors. She will give you endless coffee and tea, and cooks a pretty good breakfast. She also served us some apple preserves that were amazing.

In her house there is a cat and he loves hanging around visitors. He even jumped into Richard's bed during the night. She has no internet. In all, it was a fine stay although it took a while to find it. If you want to stay closer to the bus station and the Mayak Hotel, the only bastion of internet service, don't stay here.
