SERVICED APARTMENTS
Entrepreneurial Muscovites have begun renting out apartments on a short-term
basis. Flats are equipped with kitchens and laundry facilities and they almost always
offer wi-fi access. The rental agency usually makes arrangements for the flat to be
cleaned every day or every few days. Often, a good-sized flat is available for the price
of a hotel room, or less. It is an ideal solution for families or travellers in a small
group.
Apartments are around R4300 to R8600 per night. Expect to pay more for fully ren-
ovated, Western-style apartments. Although there are usually discounts for longer
stays, they are not significant, so these services are not ideal for long-term renters.
