Review of the rest in the boarding house "Moskovskie Dachi"
Deciding to relax during the crisis by the sea, he set the task for his wife to find something low-budget, but not in Sochi, because. holidays in this city at prices are not comparable even with Italy. My wife was advised at work to go to the Crimea, the Moskovskiye Dachi boarding house, it seems not expensive, again Ukraine, the prices are small, etc. Having completely trusted his wife, he gave out money, took vouchers. We decided to go by car - it's even cheaper: if a ticket to the Crimea in a compartment from Moscow costs 4.000 rubles. one way per person (together there and back - 16000), then by car the whole trip turned out to be 6800r.
Before leaving, I studied the route on the Internet for a long time and suddenly came across reviews about the rest in the Moskovskiye Dachi boarding house, the author is Petr Anatolyevich. In general, I was wildly upset, I didn’t say anything to my wife, but I was driving with a very heavy feeling in my heart, waiting for something from horror stories about scammers or huts from a fairy tale about Papa Carlo.

For some reason, driving a car calmed me down. Passing through Feodosia (where the road stretches for several kilometers along the beach) I saw a completely vile picture: people walking on their heads, the beach on the right - the swamp on the left and the most terrible cold sea (this is the end of July). And in Shchelkino, we first missed and drove into the city, where we swam in the warm Sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bAzov, and then found a boarding house.
We were housed in a "pink" cottage, I was in the mood for the infamy painted on the Internet, but what the previous authors painted. I have not seen. The rooms are well maintained, the cleaning is good, the food is very good.
Nutrition in general is a separate issue, I am a picky person in the quality and quantity of food, but there were no complaints here. By the way, my wife was very jealous that I praised the cook. They fed deliciously. Cook Yulia excelled in cooking Ukrainian and Russian dishes, daily fruits, confectionery. Why I eat this in detail: a young couple from the Moscow region was sitting at the table with us, so the girl at first grieved that the young man would not like the food, and then dissuaded him from having dinner.
You can talk forever about the sea and the beach: the sea is the warmest, but the wind is constantly blowing, if you don’t take care you can burn terribly. Because of the constant wind, windsurfers from Russia and Ukraine come here. Lots of youth. Expanse for children. The beach is as fine as sand, the shell rock is a fairy tale (if you remember, in the Crimea there are pebbles along the entire coast). Every morning, from 10 am, two women pass and clean up the remains of evening gatherings and garbage. Prices in Shchelkino - a separate song, compared to the South Coast minuscule. For men, I translate a number of prices for Russian money: vodka (good) - 80-90 rubles, beer - 24-30 rubles, melons - 12 r. kg, watermelon - 8 r. kg, ram - 110 r. kg, etc. .
For two weeks, they tanned, ate, rested. The inhabitants of Crimea treat us very well, I have never felt uncomfortable, respect and kindness. True, once in the market my aunt did not let my wife choose apples, then both grappled. But nearby, the merchant immediately gave us a discount and snitched on the neighbor, they say, the lady and the peasant have problems. South - in a word.

Maybe we should still say thanks to Pyotr Anatolyevich for the story that makes hair stand on end - the administration of the boarding house has drawn conclusions. Some kind of wariness was constantly felt in dealing with Muscovites. But to be honest, I do not agree with the author of the review about the boarding house. Maybe this is an ordinary "customer", the comrade wrote painfully literary and fluently "disgustingly". Don't know. From myself I will say: I liked the rest. If you want to have five stars go to Turkey. Crimea is a cheap and angry holiday. Something from our childhood.
