Do not trust people in Crimea
This September we went to rest in the Crimea, having agreed in advance with Lena http://fotki. yandex. ru/users/ELE-TISHHEN/albums/ about what kind of housing we need and for how much.
He assured us that in September it is impossible to book in any case and it is not necessary. What options heaps. She was right about that, but more on that later.
We decided to go to the villa and rent an apartment, agreed on a price in the range of 200-300 UAH. For this money we were promised a villa by the sea in Gaspra
That she will help us bargain with the owners, that she will find us the best option.
But not everything turned out that way. We called her in advance, a week before we were informed that we would arrive. Then we phoned on the same day that we were already approaching.
Arriving at the agreed place, Lena tells us that she thought that we had already rented a house. But how? We said we were coming. In the hustle and bustle, without listening to our preferences for housing, she sent us to Natasha - the house is somewhere in the mountain, far from the sea, even by the standards of the Crimea.
If anyone knows - over the swallow's nest behind the military base.
For 150 hryvnia conditions - almost 2-storey house with soviet furnishings. The hostess mumbled something indistinctly about the price, saying that she takes more for IT. In short, we thought about how to escape from there. And grandmothers sat and gossiped in the yard
We called Lena again. She was on the run, showing the villas to other clients, and began to tell us that for 300 UAH we would not find anything by the sea, which was at least 400. That all decent places were booked (although a month ago she assured that EVERYTHING would be free and it would be stupid to book) and said they say wait for me there and then, I'll be there soon.
Imagine our state. We were on the road for 12 hours, in the heat, we were tired, we arrived at the sea with prearranged agreements - and they threw us. This Lena is not going yet. The husband spat on all this and we went to look for housing ourselves.
Yes, one thing is true - it is not worth booking accommodation in September.
Especially since photos of properties are often embellished by owners or agents. And that having bought into beautiful photos, people often lose money for booking.
Plus, there are cheaters on every corner. Having driven around the place, we looked at housing options, to be honest, this is a quiet horror. Maybe in the hot season you don't care where to live, as long as you have a bed of showers and the sea nearby. But not when in September there is no one in Crimea and a house for 150 UAH is rented for 300 UAH.
We found broker Dmitry, who often sits near Geleo-Park Pine Grove. Offered us a wonderful apartment with a sea view. 10 minutes from the Golden Beach for 250 UAH.
