search here : http://ukrainefare.com/apartments.php , someone else posted it here on some other topic for appartments , but you find interpreters also .
devil, I'm thinking of going in about six weeks. If your friends there, let me know?
RB, I think you're on to something. The cheapest I've found so far is an organisation called "student interpreter services". $10 per hour - ker-ching! :)
Check your PM there is the telephone number. Very nice and professional interpreter. It will be not more than $15, may be $10 that's negotiable. Her name is Anna.
