    I’m thinking about moving apartment to the very centre of Moscow. I’ll show which website I use to search and show you some of the options I am considering. I will also discuss the prices and compare them to back home.

    Living in a Stalinka in Shabalovksaya for 60k is a very good deal these days. I'd only want to live as far from the centre as that, or somewhere within the Third Ring, and for a 35/m2+ 'design' renovation, something comfortable and European... you're looking at 120k+ a month.
    You'd only want to live *so* close to the centre before you're living around government buildings and touristy stuff, not a real neighbourhood as it were.

    Stress on the first syllable- ShAbolvskaya. There are good places in Moscow, for example, I really like Tushino, we lived there in a great quiet green area with old architecture. Svobody Street, Tushinskaya Street. It's not a Red Square, but it's quick and convenient to get there.

To be honest, I think that your current location is ideal; Shabolovskaya is very close to the historic center, but that's also a historic part of the city, actually because of an= constructivism architecture. By the way, yesterday I've seen your comment at Moscowwalks' live stream about Shabolovskaya. Have a great week xxx

    Hi Jim. I have an idea for your video about renting a house. You can take 3 categories. Cheap housing up to 50,000 rubles, average from 50,000 to 100,000 and expensive. From 100,000 and up. I think if you make such a video showing some housing options, many will be interested in this format. You will see everything yourself not in photographs, but in reality, go and film everything in real conditions as it is. And show it to all your viewers.

    Don't go anywhere, you live in a luxurious Stalinist apartment. This can be said to be a premium class. The only inconvenience is that there is no garbage chute, in winter the garbage must be taken outside and there is no elevator if the house is not higher than 5 floors. In St. Petersburg, there are also gas water heaters in Stalinist houses. At that time, there was no centralized hot water yet. It's probably better in Moscow.

    Nice flavour - but given the inflation in Moscow I would increase the budget a little to 115 ru and you will get a whole lot more flat in Old Arbat with a pre-revolution apartment 100% done up. Our former home was there just across from the Canadian embassy - we rented but the owner declined to sell it to us. We had 3 rooms, truly stunning and paid 80 ru 8-years ago. Old Arbat (not Novy Arbat) would be a great location for such a distinguished Scotsman such as yourself. BTW - the Moscow Burns Night Supper was usually held at the Lotte Plaza but not sure now.

    The problem with all those babushka's interiors is that you set low price for the center of Moscow.
    Double the price in the settings and you'll see quite different results with modern interiors.
    The center of Moscow is very expensive area actually 😏
    So you get babushka's interior or you have to pay higher price. Much higher 🤷🏼‍♂️

Go and have a look - photos can be deceptive. First appt is more home like. You could ask them to remove clutter. Again maybe worth a look just to see in daylight. Are all the photos current? Make a video on these three… will be fun.

    Hey, Jim! I didn’t really like any of the flats that you looked at. They’re pretty small. Some of the decorations would just give me a headache, like red walls or this terrible pattern in a bathroom. I mean, why?
    If you’re thinking of moving to a nicer area and find a flat within your budget, I would suggest you look at Smolenskaya or Frunzenskaya, may be Taganskaya. Something at or around the Garden Ring. Or maybe a nicer and more morden flat in your area (a bit closer to the Garden Ring).
    If you’re still keen on moving to the areas that you have initially pointed out, you would probably need to increase your budget. Otherwise, you will likely be stuck with tiny and/or ugly flats ☹️

    • @annabakhaeva4828
      @annabakhaeva4828 5 дней назад

      Yeah, and I actually like your current flat. You’ve got a really good deal on it. If you were to rent it today, you would most definitely have to pay more than you’re currently paying. And the area is really nice. So I would think twice about moving out of there unless there is some urgent reason you need to find another place.

    It looks as though you have to be over 18 to look at the decor. Personally I would choose none. The key to living in a big city is to get as close to a metro station as possible. That will cut down your walking time and get you to the centre quicker. So go for a better apartment nearest a metro line.

    Definitely do not recommend to move in center-center like Kitay-Gorod or Chistie Prudy unless you're a fan of nightlife and tolerant to different kind of noises during the night, or you feel fine to sleep with closed windows. The density of buildings and people is very high, and you will, most likely, experience some inconveniences because of that.

It’s come back into fashion in the UK! Rents seem dirt cheap, considering it’s a capital city. Some Eastern European apartments have beautiful, large antique boilers in the living room. I don’t know if you have seen any yet in Russia. They’re amazing. Really stunning.
