RUSSIA CALLING - please critique my St Petersburg listing! ;) :)

I’m pretty shocked at that price. Is Russia expensive in general to travel to?
To the OP, since you asked for feedback, what’s with these summer rates? That’s more expensive than some of our hotels here in Hawaii right on the water.

Hi, I think your studio looks great. Just no pictures of the bed? Where does one sleep?
Also find there are a lot of the same pictures for the interiors…
Very pretty interiors. Makes me want to stay there!

Still too many pix of living/kitchen and none of where guests are going to sleep. Also, no shower curtain? But place does look gorgeous :slight_smile:

Hey I’m an SpB host here too.

Actually for Saint Petersburg there is a little loophole and you can arrive and leave on a ferry from Helsinki and get a visa free for 72 hours.

Hey have a look at a map.

Winter in Saint Petersburg is much different than winter in Siberia which is different than winter in Sochi.

I agree just looked now and still can’t find a photo with the bedroom…do you have one :slight_smile:

And do review your prices they look super cheap.

Very Nice! I even liked looking through all your pictures.

Yes, my wife and I have been wanting to go to Russia and specifically St. Petersburg. It’s supposed to be very beautiful! But you do have to plan way in advance to get a visa.

First, don’t believe all the negative media about Russia. Second, it’s a good thing for us that many foreigners traveling to the USA don’t punish us by not coming because of what our government says and does.

Awesome, above freezing. That must be why the NYE price is 5x higher.

Hoping to get an explanation about the crazy pricing from the OP, who promised he would come back. Sigh.

Maybe we do have to get more tough on these people who use us for critiques and then disappear.

Don’t worry, not singling out Russia. I haven’t been back to the USA since 2013 either.
Or North Korea :joy:

No but seriously, my views are based on real live politics, not media sensationalism.

What country do you live in?

I don’t mind answering, but I’m not really looking for a debate. Just so you know.

back…seems I was blocked for 22 hours…too many messages for a new member ;)…anyway the price is normally around 35/45 USD in winter and around 80/100 for Summer - but next year is the FIFA WOLRD CUP in St Petersburg so the prices have gone a bit crazy for all over the city (double or more)- however its just for a few dates when the games are being played…do come to Russia - friendly people and life is cheap…good food too - winter is cold and snowy, and summer hot and the white nights (museums open all night too…romantic evening walks, ballet, etc)…depends what you are into )…thanks for everyone for your messages and helpful advice - definitely taking everything on board and removing photos and adding a bed photo )…hope its solved the problem on pricing )…

I just think people are generally friendly and welcoming no matter where you travel in the world and they should not be penalized for how their governments behave.

Totally agreed. And after Putin has had his little stint those wonderful Russians will still be there. And then I’d like to go and visit
