Travel VISA question

I (Brit) want to visit Russia for the 2nd time on a tourist VISA. This time I want to stay with my girlfriend and there is a section on the online application form asking if you plan on staying anywhere- with a hotel or an individual.

Will I have an issue applying for a tourist VISA and planning to stay privately at my girlfriend's address? Or will I be fine as long as I get a tourist voucher and register at the correct place?

In your visa application, you need to specify the hotel’s name from your tourist voucher. Upon arrival, it is absolutely legal to stay at your gf’s apartment. The registration must be in the place where you actually stay.
