About 15 years ago 4 of us on 3 bikes toured LViv, Kiev, Moscow, St Pete and the Baltic states, and used this organisation for accomodation:
HOFA
They were brilliant. It was run almost singlehandedly by Alexei Kostarev and his wife in those days, we stayed with them in St Pete.
A few years later we went again and used them for Yaroslavl, Vladimir and Suzdal (golden ring) and again first class service. Stayed with Alexei's son in St Pete on that trip.
A few years later again used them for Riga and Tallin.
They've got bigger over the years but their reputation seems as good as ever.
BUT, they aren't cheap, although their costs are always very clear with no surprises. And reliable as well.
I'd certainly use them again for Russian (and old USSR) trips.
