I am going to Kiev on April 11. i need an apartment preferably under 100usd a night. I have searched google but most are booked up. Can any one recommend any please.
I always stayed at his properties when in Kiev. Alex is the greatest guy, medical doctor with and an astute entrepreneure. He's one of the most honest people you'll find in the business. Extremely helpful and no nonesense, what he tells you is what it is. Reservations are made directly with owner (he's the co-owner), so prices are very competitive. He'll give you any sort of advice, make reservations, pick up your girl at the train station, bring her to the airport, etc.
P.S. don't forget to ask him what he thinks about your woman, so many times he's seen it all and trust me he's spot on. If he says good things, she's a keeper, if he avoids to answer, you're in deep shit::))
It is only 2 weeks away, I would think many are already booked up!! A couple others to look at are:
www.ukrainefare.com
www.kievhotel-service.kiev.ua
I am capable of test driving also......$460 for test drive only and $920 for complete job!! :))
Don't worry James this is just some 'forum' fun...don't take it personaly.
Trav,
I may try your your apt service soon. But test drive not going to be needed!!!
A little off the beaten path, but the Sherbourne Apartments are great. Great apartments, decent prices and "Excellent Service!" It's just about a 10 minute ride on the tube to get to Kreschatyk.
I have just returned from a nice visit to Kiev. I used the services of WWW.ukrainefare.com .
i used their so called "Kiev superior" this was very poor quality Apartment-I would now NEVER recommend UKRAINFARE.COM.
The apartment was scruffy shabby . The lino on the floor was oldy tatty. No carpets. Dirt old dusty microwave.Old cooker a relic from the communist era that had to be sparked lighted by matchsticks. The kettle was old and also had to be placed on the cooker and of course the gas sparked by matchsticks to heat it. but the worst this was the BUGS creepy crawlies around the sink work surface that would appear at regular intervals.
The good thing about UKRAINEFARE.COM was the taxi service was prompt and reliable even though he did like to aim his car at pedestrians on Zebra crossings.
Lan,
Superior apt is only medium class...should have picked deluxe, much nicer. Sounds like you paid under $70.
I have had no problems with apts other than change in apts due to water leaks. You should have called Alla and made her aware of your complaints.
Some 2.4 years ago I stayed in this apartment, you'll never get away from a 'Ukraine' apartment but it was perfectly adequate with particular joys being that the bed was ultra comfortable, it had curtains that actually kept out the light and the soundproofing was adequate, restful nights of sleep were enjoyed:

I also stayed in this apartment for one night, not so good as above but was OK:
lan,
I meant contact Alla while you were in Kiev.
I have stayed with ukrainefare several times, no problem. You didn't mention the number or price paid.
I usually pay $80 and up to get nicer apt. I will be in Kiev in May, staying with ukrainefare. The price for their transfers are very reasonable.
Seeya, there is many different choices for apt rentals, Before you decide let Lan ng2 give details on what he paid for apt. Many threads recently on different web sites for apts
Hi Beemer
i paid $85 a night for the apartment in Kiev with UKRAINEFARE.COM. i personally think that is enough money and reckon i should have got a decent apartment for that money. I have learnt from this experience NOT to use ukrainefare.com again for apartments.
Below is a copy of the booking confirmation e mail i received from ukrainefare.com:
"Thank you ian for submitting your request in our web-site www.ukrainefare.com. I wanted to confirm that the Kiev Superior 27 apartment is available for your dates:
Check-in: Apr 11, 07, 17.30
Check-out: Apr 17, 07, 7.30
DEPOSIT PAID -This email confirms that you have paid info@UkraineFare.com (info@UkraineFare.com) $85.00 USD using PayPal.
exchange rate for this purchase is 1 GBP = 1.91870USD
--------------------------------------
Total: $510 for 6 nights ($85 per night)"
lan,
I agree that you should get decent apt for $85. I looked at a couple other sites I deal with and what you paid
for your 3 room apt was way cheaper than the other sites, some don't even offer a 2bedroom. For $10 more per night you could have had a nice deluxe apt, one I stayed in before. Your apt was cheapest around...I try to get one priced in the middle for the size.
Mike00,
How you doing mate? This discussion is on Ukranian city of Kiev, I think very different than your cities in Russia, other than larger cities. lan rented a 3 room apt for $85 which is very cheap price. Unfortunately it was not very desireable. When you pay more you get more.
