The Master List of Lodging
in Moscow and Elsewhere in Russia
Many direct-from-landlord offers! More coming up!!
Backpacker and homestay accommodation in
Moscow
A few offers direct from the landlord, no in-betweens. Of these please first consider my famous Dutch Loft across the river from Red Square, then my room on the canal, then check the availability of Asya's rooms by the Swamp Square Park, and then proceed to the list itself. You'll also find a load of advice on finding cheap lodging there.
And now a short commercial message
from the creator of this site
Airport pickup
for a smooth beginning
of your trip
This valuable and actively updated page lists $70 and under hotels in this 2nd to 4th most expensive, according to various ratings, city in the world. Enjoy.
Another little advertising from me..
This time check out our
Business Services
...or, if you think that I'll look silly in the corporate setting, we'll be happy to see you as our guest in the Village of Dubrovki near Staritsa, where you will be able to enjoy Horseback rides in the picturesque hills over the Volga, do rafting, caving and exploring the catacombs, or participate in short working holidays.

Thank you for your patience. Here is is your reward:
Moscow apartments in the "decently budget" range
Short term apartment scene is dominated by agencies but I'll be replacing them with "direct from landlord" offers as they come. These will be identified with some cutesy symbol of directness, eg. a bow and arrow or a Kalashnikov machine gun.. Apartments here will fall in the $40-100/night range. This is the most "practical" part of the Accommodation part of my site.
Moscow Survival Orientation Tour with Olesya
..public transit, using the phone, key Russian phrases, dangers and pseudo-concerns, negotiating taxi fares, navigating the subway, eating out cheap and well..
Insist on the best? Check out Luxury apartments in Moscow
Anything in the $100-140/night range that I deem worth it will be listed here. Good service, including landlord/housekeeper accessibility and decent English, are among the selection criteria.

Information and hints, on homestays, bed & breakfast offers, camps etc. between Moscow and St. Petersburg, and in the Tver region in particular, is especially welcomed.
So far we've been trying hard to convince you to fork you money over our way. Here is our famous
Random List of Russian Prices
to help you save money.
In response to popular interest I went against my own nature that rejects everything Siberian and established a separate page on that travel route. Still I entertain hope that you'll repent and travel between Moscow and St. Petersburg instead, with a stopover at our "dacha". To see how good the alternative I offer is proceed, for instance, to www.rural-russia.narod.ru/horses_e.htm
I could have inserted another commercial message here but didn't. Instead try Moscow Booze Page established as a remedy to help my guests unprepared to live in the environment when drinks are available anywhere anytime at 70 cents a bottle or shot. Or try my Misery Tourism concept for the sophisticated misanthrope.
Outside of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Trans-Siberian. Any info or hints I get end up here. Anything to share? Presently I have Ryazan, Samara, Vilnius, Kiev, Ekaterinburg and several other places..

MORE COMING UP SOON. THIS PAGE IS BEING ACTIVELY OVERHAULED..
Landlords please note:
- Submit your information by writing to inbox@unclepasha.com.
- Please no unnecessary phone calls. Same is really appreciated of clients. I'm always within reach for emergency, never turn the phone off at night etc. etc. but PLEASE leave it as a special communication channel, and use e-mail as the normal means of doing business and staying in touch.
- Apartment owners describe your unit and your neighbourhood IN DETAIL.
- Homestay hosts please describe YOURSELF. People opt for homestay because they want to come in contact with local forms of life. IDENTIFY AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF.
- Photos encouraged. Please send photos in publication-ready format (no more than 80kb, no file names in Russian etc.).
- In-betweens discouraged
- For a small kickback (10%) I will actively promote your offer provided I myself deem it valuable.
- The kickback absolutely must not be added to your price. Those doing it (there was an ugly precedent recently) embarrass the crap out of me and will be mercilessly removed from my accommodation lists.
- If you are in Moscow in our neighbourhood (Zamoskvorechye) I will be able to inspect, describe and photograph your accommodation offer personally. I am actively interested in this part of Moscow.
