From my Board, posted July 4, 2007: Apartment in Moscow Posted on July 4, 2007 at 10:14:43 PM by James  jrmacnab [at] telus [dot] .net For anyone interested in renting an apartment in Moscow, I can recommend one near Serpukhovskaya metro. I have stayed there twice and will probably stay there again if it is available when I return to Moscow. It is reasonably priced, clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, has internet connection, satelite television, washer and is just steps from the metro. I can get to the Bolshoi, Moscow Conservatory and other venues within 30 minutes of leaving the apartment. There is also the Danilovsky market for fresh vegatables, fruit and meat; one metro stop away. Plus the landlord is a very nice and interesting person, always willing to help with advice.

Luxury grade apartments in the $80-120 range. Rick, webmaster@enjoymoscow.com  (095) 741-7606. Although these are "luxury" rather than "budget" I am listing Rick here because his service style really stands out. Perhaps the only Moscow operator who will not give you a flat no if his apartments are booked but go out of his way to set you up with something appropriated. Recommended for service quality. Apartments are good too and well worth the price. Also he may have "last minute" specials. Please don't be put off by American jingoism on his site www.enjoymoscow.com . You are renting his apartments, not his attitude.  RECOMMENDED ....got a letter from his client that described his style as "bullying"....

From Marina, my former housekeeper: One-room, 4 min. from M. Babushkinskaya (north end, easy access to the Sheremetyevo airport).  $50 per night, probably less if staying for a week or longer, less in the winter till about the middle of April. Write her to marinacus@mail.ru  or call +7-495-775-9776 (speak slowly and distinctly).  Her page on my site: www.unlepasha.com/marina.htm  $25/NIGHT ROOM NEAR M. BELORUSSKAYA, CLOSE TO THE USA EMBASSY, OR THE WHOLE PLACE FOR $75-80. JUNE 30, 2006: $80 FOR THE APARTMENT, $30 FOR THE ROOM. PROBABLY VALID IN THE 2007 SEASON. June 30, 2007 - AN COMPLAINT TO THE EFFECT THAT MARINA FAILED TO WARN THE CLIENT THAT THERE IS NO HOT WATER IN THE APARTMENT [FULL STORY]

An agency but their offers seem attractive enough to be added to this list: http://razmestim.com/index_eng.html   Prices start at $70-75/night. FEEDBACK

Testing client interest in Bicycle Rental in Moscow..

Disclaimers:

I only collect information.
There **a*r*e** errors here.
I am **n*o*t** a travel agent.

in view of the coming travel season with all the extra communications it brings please be warned that those sending me 10 e-mails over two days of renting my "Dutch Loft" will receive a rude response. The record so far is 50 communications over $50 worth of business. When pointed to this absurd situation the character responded by saying "what the big deal you are in business you must be used to lots of e-mails". I am glad if you find the information I compiled useful. I can be hired. But hiring me still does not release you from using my time and energy efficiently. please understand. I did have to say that out loud after a succession of particully annoying and tiresome situations.

Landlords please don't take offence, I post all i deem relevant. I'm in the information/advice business, and my loyalty leans towards travellers, some of whom become my clients. Please do not expect me to sell you. that is not to say I will not be happy to see you do well. those who offer good accommodation at the right price take care to present it well, respond e-mails fast etc.
(added after two complaints from landlords received in one day!!)
