BANGOR, Maine, USA, March 10, 2009 — For the uninitiated, travel and accommodations in Moscow or any CIS city can be daunting. Even in the current financial crisis, Moscow hotels have kept their prices up as demand for occupancy in this money soaked business and tourist Mecca continues to soar. Rumors of price fixing and cartel activity have kept rack rates at lofty levels for years. Tourists and businessmen, with no alternative, have grudgingly paid usurious prices. Add peripheral costs such as city tax and fees for necessities such as per minute internet, airport transfers, visa support and interpreters, and expenditures begin to skyrocket.

Enter relief in the form of a rented flat. A growing alternative for savvy travelers, a flat rental can be welcome relief from the bullying rates charges by Moscow’s hospitality trade. Costs for apartments in Moscow run an average 30% to 50% less than hotel rates for considerably more space. The area provided by a two room flat affords the same approximate living space as a two bedroom hotel suite with the addition of a full kitchen. Many flats feature high rise views and free high speed internet. Add a well stocked fridge, and a flat has it all over a hotel any day of the week.

AnastasiaDate, the industry leader in online dating with offices in the U.S. and Russia, is also a major player and conduit for affordable long and short term accommodations in Moscow and over 24 major cities in Russia and CIS. Having booked tens of thousands of flats in their 5 years of rental operations, Anastasia has literally hundreds of apartments available to suite every need, in a variety of locations all over any given city. If you’re visiting the country for the first time or otherwise not familiar with transportation in the city, airport transfers are available (and indispensible) for a nominal fee. Visa support is also available as are a variety of other services. Thus a flat arrangement becomes not only economically prudent, but priceless.
