 The famous Dutch Loft in all of its glory. Named so because it is popular
with travellers from the Netherlands. A
letter from Holland commending on the name.

A luxury homestay in the Ukraina Hotel
building on Kutuzovsky

This is a new offer, and
availability is still high!! And that's the Ukraine Hotel building. The
apartment in question is on the other side.

| $15-20 per person or couple, Rublevskoye Shosse. A crummy
apartment in a crummy building but in a good area. |
Please note that hosts are heavy smokers but
otherwise interesting and easy-going people. She is a geologist and he is an alpinist,
both with an intense interest in caving. On their request, their contact
information is not posted here but you can get it by
writing to us (mention the Filin family). |

| ...several free homestay offers removed as outdated.... |
These offers come and
go. You can ask about the availability of such when you are in Moscow. It is
no use asking in advance because these offers don't last long. See

page to take active steps in looking for free accommodation. |

Izmailovo
Metro Izmailovsky Park
|
Normally
rooms there run at $40-50/night. If, however, you
show up Friday afternoon
and speak with agents that hang out by the hotel, you can realistically get
something for $25. This hotel caters to local business travellers and
thus tends to have vacancies on weekends. Floors are rented out to
independent operators who send their agents to the street to catch clients,
and the competition is at times fierce, which drives prices way down.
Cheap food is one of the advantages of this hotel. Check out the staff
cafeteria where you can gorge yourself
silly for $4-5.
Close to the Vernisage Arts and
Crafts market. |

Kievskaya $15-17
Tel. 240-1444/5378.
Metro Kievskaya |
A forthright unvarnished
dump near the Kiev railroad station. Hint: rooms become available at noon,
and fill quickly, so show up at 11-something. Near Kutuzovsky, next door to Radisson-Slavyanskaya,
easy access to the city center via a spectacular pedestrian bridge. Given
the location and price, this hotel can be recommended no matter what.
Hurry up before it falls victim to Moscow authorities' drive to give the
city a "civilized" facade. |

|
| Shelters for the homeless |
I don't recommend that
western travellers take advantage of shelters intended for the true homeless
but I will be asking if they have spare space in the summer that can be
rented inexpensively, for the benefit of all. |
