At a hotel

At a private apartment

With a Russian Family



You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful city with so much history!

We would like to thank you sincerely for your excellent guiding of us in St. Petersburg. We believe we may have taken you to places that are not usually in your guiding itineraries, but we are sure you didn't mind that. We have now returned home from our holiday in St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Tallinn, but there is no doubt that our star location was St. Petersburg. You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful city with so much history

STAYING AT A PRIVATE APARTMENT

An alternative to staying at a hotel can be an inexpensive accommodation in a furnished and comfortable apartment in the very historical center of Saint-Petersburg and in residential areas for any length of stay.

All apartments are within walking distance of the main St-Petersburg sights, theatres, shops, subway stations, main offices, embassies, markets, restaurants. Certainly, you don't share these apartments with anybody, you have all the keys and whole apartment is only for you, you can invite any guests, nobody will disturb you, etc. All apartments have no problems with hot water supplying. There is everything for living in the apartment: bedding, blankets, towels, soap, toilet paper, etc. If you need, the apartment will be cleaned and tidied up and bedding is changed in 5-7 days.

To know the availability of apartments please contact our manager.

You may also take a detailed look at one of the apartments.

Reasons For Renting Private Apartments:

1) Better Value: The hotel market in St. Petersburg is presently not sufficient to meet the tourism and business travel growth the city is experiencing. There are a few high end Western style hotels, but they charge over $200 per night for a small single room. Most of the Russian style hotels are poor in quality and the ones in the Center still charge over $100 for 4 walls and a bed. By contrast, $100 for an apartment would rent you a luxurious western remodeled 2 bedroom apartment with comfortable living room, full kitchen, stylish bathroom, etc. within walking distance to many of the great historical sites of the city.

2) Privacy: Unfortunately Russian run hotels often have security that feels your private life is their opportunity to earn money. They will often request/require bribes if you wish for a friend to visit you.

3) Helping People: Unfortunately, there are few opportunities for hard working Russians to develop middle class incomes. With rare exception, private rental apartments are owned by individuals who worked hard and saved, and then worked hard again to refurbish their apartment. Most rental agents, such as myself, are independents trying to build a business and reputation for ourselves. In contrast, hotels pay terrible wages to it's workers, usually less than $100 a month for full time labor.

We have a wide range of apartments available.
