Short-term apartment rental, Moscow

Go to my NEW project
www.staritsa.info
for anything between Moscow and St. Petersburg or along the Golden Ring or anything else someone travelling between the two capitals may conveivably end up.

Note: All numbers are shown as dialed long distance within Russia since I anticipate you'll be making most of your travel arrangements from Moscow or St. Petersburg. Compulsive overplanners complicate their lives and those of their brethren by dialing whatever it takes to to get to the international line (011 from the US and Canada?), then 7 instead of 8, and then the rest of the number.

Check out the Sanatoruims page. I tried to concentrate on those along plausible routes that can be when travelling between Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Klin
Right on the main highway, 70 or so km north-west from Moscow. Main attraction: the Tchaikovsky Museum.

Hotel "Gosniny Dvor", ul. Dzerzhinskogo 4, tel. 8-09624-25313. If travelling towards Moscow, turn right at the "to Volokolvamsk" sign and go one or two blocks to Dzerzhinskogo. Well-known Alex cafe is next door to the hotel. 400-600 roubles ($14-21) get you are very basic room. Army blankets, the lower 2/3 of the wall are khaki, the rest is whitewashed. Facilities on the first floor. The staff on the other hand is friendly and cooperative, and will be happy to give you extra not just out of their natural goodness but also to get back at the owner who actively pursues minimal service to maximize profit policy. No sound insulation. I checked in Sunday night - which is the night when Russians try to catch up on partying.

Vera Mikhailovna Konstantinova, Sanatourim manager, tel. 8-09624-35057

New Jerusalem.
......
Also note the New Jerusalem museum. I believe a tour in English can be ordered, when their English-speaking guide is available, at the cost of around 1000 roubles ($35US). Tel.: 8 (231) 49787.

Tver
Being close to my dacha, Tver is documented on my www.russian-horse-rides.com page. Lots of hotels. No homestay type options yet discovered in Tver despite a lot of looking.

Yaropolets
Hotel or "House of Rest"
8-236-63-110, 8-236-63-134

In the Soviet days Yaropolets, formerly a writers' and artists' hangout, was famous because of the first hydro stations in the Soviet Russia, build directly under Lenin's patronage. The People's Museum of Yaropolets is largely dedicated to early Soviet drive to "electrify" collective farms.

Staritsa, Tver region
OK, the whole point of this exercise it to entice you to my dacha near Staritsa. The dacha accommodation option, politely marketed as "authentic", is also described at www.russian-horse-rides.com. Those who understandibly want nothing to do with me may consider the Volga hotel in Staritsa. Contact details are on my www.unclepasha.com/staritsa_eng.htm page. No problem with foreigners and they will even put the stamp on your visa with a minimum of fuss. $10-25 per room.
