Location:
Grivtsova ul, by Sennaya Square, is in the centre of St Petersburg,
in a very old part of the city. It is known as the Dostoyevsky district,
and many landmarks mentioned in his books are to be found there.
Some say the district has not changed much since his time. Nevsky
Prospekt and the Hermitage Museum are a 15 minute walk and
St Isaac's
Cathedral is just 5 minutes
away.
Nearest metro stations are Saddovaya and Sennaya Plochet.

Shopping:
Sennaya square is well known as the cheapest market place in the
city, and you will see many kiosks near the metro station which
sell most foods. There are also several good shops in the area where
you can buy whatever you need. Don’t miss a visit to the new
covered market just off the square along Moskovsky Street –
a marvellous selection of fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, cheeses,
exotic spices and herbs, and clothes, new and second hand. Do make
time to wander in the area, as its full of colourful local characters.
Walk along Griboyedova Canal and you will reach Nevsky Prospekt
within 15 minutes, near the big shopping mall, Gostiny Dvor. You
can walk to most places of interest from our flat or take a trolleybus
or the metro.
Places
of interest: A visit to the Hermitage Art Museum is a must;
it’s within walking distance. Allow a whole day, as it is
the most exceptional place. Other favourites are the Russian Museum,
the Folk Art Museum next door, and the Maly or Mariinsky Theatres
for ballet. And of course St Isaac’s Cathedral and Smolny
Cathedral. Do visit at least one of the palaces - the Summer Palace
at Peterhof with its gardens and fountains, Pavlovsk or Tsarskoe
Selo at Pushkin, all accessible by train or bus. On Nevsky Prospekt
there are lots of restaurants, bars and coffee places, and some
good antique shops as well. Prices are in line with western prices
in most of them but you might be lucky and find a cheap Russian
restaurant that is worth a try, for the experience.
Cost: Our flat has
been recently renovated and provides clean, secure and inexpensive
furnished accommodation in a convenient, central location with all
the basic amenities needed. It sleeps 4 and is available for £165
per week for 2 people, £220 for 4 people.
