There is an opportunity to rent a beautifully renovated and fully furnished 4-room-apartment in the diplomatic area of St. Petersburg opposite the German Consulate on ul. Furshtatskaya 42. The apartment (200 square meters) is located on the third floor (no lift) of a historical building with two bedrooms and a large living room facing south; kitchen, two bathrooms and study facing north (yard).

The apartment has been completely refurbished during 2006-2007 with only the tiled stove in the living room remaining as original piece of art, dating back to 1865 (the stove is working). There is floor heating in all common areas, the kitchen and both bathrooms. In all other rooms, where the floors are of solid walnut, heating is traditional. The study features another fireplace covered with Italian marble!

The main bathroom leads to a separate shower, toilet, washing/tumbling room and sauna. The oversized bathtub comes with air/water pumps (whirlpool). The second bathroom is equipped with another shower and guest toilet. All fittings are from Switzerland and Germany. There are hot and cold water filters.

The kitchen is very spacious with an island/seating area for six adults. Additional to the standard equipment, we have built in an ice-machine and a wine fridge for 36 bottles.

For the interior/furniture we have chosen mostly suppliers from Italy: Flou (bedroom), Majo di Murano (chandeliers/lighting), Bosal (upholstery), Gicinque and Smeg (kitchen), Guiseppe Visentin (sideboards etc.).

I just made my month in St. Petersburg. It is such a wonderful city, indeed. One of the best places in the world to make nice pictures and catch its people feelings. I’ve been taking photos since I arrived at Pulkovo, last April. And here’s the result of my quest: Photo albums of Paulo

That’s how I see (and would never forget about) this gorgeous town.

Ich war zwei Wochen in St. Petersburg, als ich das erste Mal mit der Metro fuhr. Im Reiseführer habe ich gelesen, dass die Metro zum Teil in 100 Meter Tiefe liegt, und dass auf der Rolltreppe rechts stehen, links gehen gilt. Ich war denn auch sehr gespannt, ob dies klappt, da es die Russen mit den Vorschriften nicht immer so streng nehmen. Doch tatsächlich! Obwohl sich vor der Rolltreppe eine Menschentraube anstaute, standen dann alle rechts. Fast alle lassen sich von der Rolltreppe auf der drei-minütigen Fahrt nach unten bringen.
