Registration in Russia

Registration in Russia - Aerial View of the New Jerusalem in Moscow, Russia

My Russian visit goes like this: I arrived on the evening of the 19th. I am here in Moscow, until Tuesday 26th when I am heading to St. Petersburg. Staying there for four nights, on 29th I am back to Moscow, and travelling back early in the morning of 2nd November.

So, to recap:

19.10 - 26.10: Moscow, which sums up to 6 working days.

26.10 - 29.10: St. Petersburg, sums up to 4 days (staying in the hotel, gonna be registered there).

29.10 - 02.11: back to Moscow, sums up to 3 days if we are counting the Friday.

My host for Moscow apartment (AirBNB) told me they will not be around and I should not be worried about registration anyways. Honestly, this is unsettling and makes me feel super anxious about the situation.

Any experience, advice, anything that might be helpful?

Thanks!
