ACCOMMODATION SEARCH ASSISTANCE
Tell me what you ideally require: size, budget, how many people need to be accommodated, location, and, since you can't have it all at once and cheap, your priorities. Don't hesitate to alert me of any special requirements, eg. low noise tolerance, allergies, physical disability etc. I will then make a round of calls on your behalf, tell you what's available, help you in making your choice, and make a reservation on your behalf.
Yes, we can assist you in transferring a deposit to the landlord too.
The cost of this service is $25. Easy payment procedure. Cheaper than making many long-distance calls. Less worrying. Buy and hour of my time and let me make some calling around while you relax and direct your attention eg. packing well.
In many cases this service is "free" unless a lot of calls and correspondence.
I'm personally familiar with 30 private apartments (and I'm updating my apartments list to give you more choice), and most of Moscow's hotels. Just ask me now.
I highly recommend to rent an apartment in the city centre. It's much cheaper ($90-150/night) than central hotels. Close to sights, eating places, good supermarkets, banks, night life etc than budget hotels. And much homy and comfortable imho.
If you prefer hotels please find and book something suitable for you here Hotels in Russia, Moscow
They offer also many hotels all over Russia and ex-USSR.Last minute requests for assistance are something to be avoided but we promise to do our best. You will not be left out on the street. Nor forced to check into $200/night hotel.
Note that Uncle Pasha can accommodate you at his dacha in Staritsa, Tver region. A mere $25 contribution to the cost of keeping the household afloat gives you a roof over your head, food, and even a horse to ride.
Accommodation offers in towns between Moscow and St. Petersburg are being added to www.staritsa.info. Lots already collected on Tver. The Golden Ring hotels and homestays will be added there very soon.
For accommodation in Saint-Petersburg please contact my friend and partner Tatiana Hotina. Please look at her website www.russianadventure.com to find a lot of information about this amazing city.
I have also some accommodation options in Siberia. Please look at Tomsk apartment and ask for more contacts in Siberia.

For Muscovites: Have a spare room? Need English conversation practice? A few bucks too? Hey girls, want to make friends with nice and decent Americans? I am getting lots of inquiries about room rental. It doesn't need to be fancy, just clean and quiet. Let me know if you got anything.
