apartment in St. Petersburg from mid-July to end of August?

[Josh Wilson]

For more info on searching for housing for research trips to Russia -
including homestays, "couch surfing," etc. - see this lovely resource:
http://www.sras.org/housing_in_russia

PS - "Vacancies" is pretty standard in American English for "jobs offered."
I would be confused if a section for "Apts. For Rent" were labeled
"Vacancies." So... please some of the people all of the time... :)

As for craigslist-like sites - I'm not sure about St. Petersburg, but those
interested in finding housing in Moscow can check out expat.ru. There are
often announcements from expats looking to rent out a room in their
apartment. The site also has advertisements for English tutors and teachers
(since questions about teaching English in Russia also seem to come up a
lot). Strangely, the "Vacancies" tab is for employment. If you're looking
for housing, you have to go to "Real Estate" -- "Offered."

Good luck!

Dear SEELANGers,

I thought I might as well add my voice to the chorus of temporary
housing hunters. I'm looking for an apartment or a room in St.
Petersburg this summer while I conduct research there. The approximate
dates of my stay will probably end up being something like July 24 to
August 26. If you have any leads or advice (such as helpful websites to
search for listings), please contact me directly at <leidy at stanford.edu>.

By the way, just curious if knows whether any craigslist-like sites have
sprung up in Russia in the last couple years?

Thanks!
