Lodging Suggestion in Perm, Russia
Just curious if any hubbers can suggest a place to stay in Perm, Russia for a reasonable price.
I would like to stay in a small apartment, but a hotel or hostel would be fine. I will be there for 11 days this February and so far the places I've found on the internet have been incredibly expensive.
Thanks,
HB

Railway station
Not sure how you arrive in Perm, but often at the main railway station in larger Russian cities (like Perm), you can find people renting out apartments short term. You need to find an old lady holding up a badly torn piece of cardboard with the word "Kvartira (apartment)" or "Komnata (room)" hand written on it in Cyrillic. She's your man ... so to speak

Квартира Комнта
For those who foolishly travel in Russia without knowing the alphabet - like me once!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
