Rental Advice for St. Petersburg

[Andrey Shcherbenok]

As far as I know, street price for a studio (odnokomnatnaia kvartira) in the
cheapest building (Khruschevka) in, say, Kupchino (one of the cheapest
areas) within 3-4 bus stops to the nearest subway, would run her about $600
a month. A trip to the city center (say, Nevsky) from such area on public
transportation will take her about 50 minutes. Hope this helps.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Rental Advice for St. Petersburg

I was wondering whether someone had their pulse on the apartment rental
situation in Petersburg.  What would a modest apartment accessible to
transport run nowadays?  This would be an extended stay (9 months) for one
of our graduates (a young woman) and we are trying to work out a realistic
budget.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
