At $20 per night for a room this is a true find for a budget traveller. Located in the
Moscow State University area, it is only 15-20 minutes from the Kremlin by Moscow’s safe
and comfortable subway. The host is a friendly English speaking retired university
teacher. If you are looking for a safe, comfortable and inexpensive family-type
accommodation, we strongly recommend this option.
Unfortunately, being an old Russian traumatized by repressions and thus suffering from
something akin to paranoia, this babushka would not let us post her number and
e-mail, so contact us, mention "the Cheryomushki lady", we'll call her right
away.
PS. Enough niceties. Expect to be billed $50 for our involvement with this
victim of Stalin terror. She seems to have some sort of a hangup about
your being registered with the police. To arrange one successful transaction with her requires 5-10 calls and the same
number of e-mails, and I insist on being compensated, especially if the work I do is the
result of somebody's, hmm, irrationality. - Pasha
