#1046   Four-bedroom duplex apartment in an elite center on Rubinstein Street

Previously, do you know how fashionable and prestigious it was in the century before last? I came to St. Petersburg, but stayed in an apartment somewhere closer to Nevsky. And it was necessary to settle down, if you have a claim to elitism - on the second floor. Because on the first floor there were barbers, zucchini, pharmacies and shops. And above there are already bachelors, artists, writers, and other people. Dostoevsky wrote - "From eternal lack of money, I did not go down below the 4th floor." On Rubinstein Street there is an apartment house number three. Architect Mikhail Makarov designed this house in 1872, the style of construction is eclectic. The front door is painted over with oil paint, thanks, as they say, to the Bolsheviks and their desire to destroy everything beautiful. But the remnants of luxury can be observed. These are wrought-iron railings - fabulous plants with petals and flowers wrap around the stairwell, and marble mosaics on the floor, and stucco molding is covered with horrific paint on the walls... My heart bleeds... We lived on the second floor, in apartment number two. With huge ceilings, on which bronze chandeliers with crystal bowls and frosted glass candles are suspended. Candelabra, designed in the same style, hang on the walls. The walls are painted in a white matte color, decorated with a thin trellis rail and stucco. The floor is covered with wool carpets of Arabic ornament. The living room, the bedrooms, and there are three of them, the kitchen is filled with solid natural wood furniture. Despite the "dorohobogato", the apartment is very cozy and homely. Household appliances are all serviceable. The gas stove and oven are easy to use. The apartment is perfectly clean and tidy. The dishes are good, there are a lot of real sawn crystal - vases, wine glasses, brandy glasses, and glasses for liqueurs. High quality bed linen and other home textiles. The hostess Irina is a pleasant girl in communication. She explained everything to us on the first call, but nevertheless did not bother us with unnecessary visits. In the link to the review of our "modest" home - https://youtu.be/v5kn28pAbYY Apartments on Rubinstein 3, my beloved, dear company of close friends and I were very satisfied. Our week-long vacation was fun, comfortable and soulful! I sincerely recommend this bureau for renting high-class housing. After all, as Aristotle Onassis said - "To be successful, look tanned, live in an elegant building (even if you are in the attic), be visible in good restaurants (even if you drink one drink) and if you borrow — borrow big."

We came to celebrate my husband's birthday, there were 6 of us. The apartment is very clean, spacious, everything is as in the photos. Each room has a bathroom - it's very convenient, a large dining room. The location is super! The owner of the apartment is a very nice woman, thank her very much for her hospitality! I also want to note that two more of our friends came to us, and Irina kindly provided 2 more beds. I definitely recommend it!!!

We came before the May holidays for 4 days to relax and unwind. There were 6 of us and this apartment pleased us very much, it is very comfortable for a large company, 4 bathrooms (3 of them with a bathtub) this is something unimaginable! You can find fault with the slightly shabby condition of the furniture, but outwardly it looks good, not the most comfortable mattresses, but the beds will not fasten... The location is perhaps one of the biggest advantages, 2 minutes from Nevsky Prospekt (and you are in the center of all the main wealth of St. Petersburg, you can walk everywhere. maximum 20-30 min.) and at the same time there is no such traffic flow (a one-way street, and there is a dead traffic jam all the time). There are also a huge number of bars and small restaurants around. The hostess is excellent, you have moved in and you will not see her again until you leave (although we behaved modestly and did not make much noise), she lives on the ground floor and is always ready to help if. something will be needed. One thing, but if you want to cook yourself, ask in advance about the availability of dishes, because there is only one large pot and frying pan. All other amenities for a comfortable time are in order. In conclusion, I want to say that this is not our first weekend in St. Petersburg, but this is probably the most comfortable, spacious (despite 6 people) and comfortable apartment! With an adequate price (6500 per day, April 26-30)! If we go in a big company, then only here!!!

The apartment is great, the hostess is a very nice girl. We spent two wonderful days in St. Petersburg. Thank you sutki-piter for a comfortable stay
