Rest on Bolshaya Arnautskaya 56.
Through the OLKh application on the phone, we contacted Nina from Ovidiopol, who rented, as she said, a one-room apartment on Bolshaya Arnautskaya 56. We put an advance payment on the card and arrived at the address, in 10 minutes. walk from the railway station. We entered the gates of a typical Odessa courtyard, the smell of cat urine hit our noses. Supposedly Nina's sister, Tanya, met us. The apartment turned out to be an outbuilding attached to the house. There were 4 of them, or maybe 5. The kitchen, which is also an entrance hall, a hatch (cellar? ) in the floor, a small combined bathroom and a living room-bunker, the window of which overlooked a blank wall, you could not see either day or night, butin the yard the weather was dimly guessed. For all this beauty they took 400 gr. per day. During the stay, it turned out that both stools were broken, and the legs from the kitchen table, too, when they ate, they balanced like tightrope walkers. There were few dishes, all from different eras. The saucepan suitable for cooking was aluminum, and the second one, enameled, had chipped enamel and rust inside. . . The socket above the stove did not work, there was nowhere to turn on the hood. The sofa was about 40 years old, or maybe all 50, small, fairly even, but it was difficult for two people in their prime to fit in. The bedding was spun and spun, and the feather pillows smelled stinky of the sweat of hundreds of previous guests. Bathroom: there was a hole in the wall, mold was growing between the tiles, the shower sprayed water over the entire area of u200bu200bthis room, the toilet bowl was wet and toilet paper had to be placed on the kitchen table, since it was at arm's length from the person sitting on the earthenware vessel. And if you open the front door and the door of the bathroom, you could contemplate nature in the yard and breathe fresh air. There was no air conditioning and no hair dryer. And yard cats came to our wing for meals, more than four at a time did not come. On the third day, we discovered the cause of the unpleasant smell in the courtyard, under the outbuilding opposite, the cats walked along the big one and it didn’t bother anyone, including the permanent residents who went out to smoke in the courtyard. Yes! WI-FI was great! The outbuilding next to ours, Tanya, during our stay, tried several times unsuccessfully. The people fled, already the heels sparkled. Only we turned out to be such fools, to live in such conditions. We went to the beach - Lanzheron, by trolleybus, then through Shevchenko Park on foot, the road took 40 minutes. There are a lot of people, there is nowhere to put your foot, many smoke, the sand is gray, with garbage, the pleasure of rest is doubtful. In the evenings, we went to Deribasovskaya, which was a solid restaurant. A lot of people, all the establishments were packed, every day they watched crying, robbed citizens. We went to Privoz 2 blocks from housing. Everyone strives to weigh you down, if you want to buy a kilogram, say that half a kilo. All the same, they put more on the scales, and all the sellers. We went to the theater on the street. Greek. We left with bewilderment, because here we were hung up for half an hour. Actor Oleg Shkolnik played one of several short stories, the playbill indicated the performance time was 1 hour. 40 minutes, but after 1 hour. 10 min. He seemed to be tired, bowed and left. In general, the impression about Odessa is not very good. Locals want to earn money and not strain. First time came and no more desire to come. By the way, Tanya did not ask about our impressions during the stay, but she told us to be careful, here anyone can deceive. You might think rest in a shed for 400 gr. per day is not a scam! And now this housing is already offered for 450 . As they say in the "Auditor", we cannot recommend Bolshaya Arnautskaya 56 in Odessa for a holiday.
