Odessa, Ukraine

Traveling to Odessa, Ukraine
By Marina Zitser
In the last decade Ukraine, as many other Eastern European countries, has changed dramatically. The old city streets have changed their names and appearances; the old stores, where kids bought candies and toys, disappeared. They had been replaced with the new boutiques and art galleries with prices that would surprise even the most experienced Rodeo Drive shopaholics.

When you search for nice and comfortable apartments in Odessa on the internet, you are usually blown away with hundreds of options. After careful research you can easily notice, that many sites offer the same apartments. The only difference is the price and the web design of every page you are looking at. If you find the owner of the apartments, you are guaranteed to have the best rates, which is extremely hard to do, because most of the apartments are represented by the agencies, which take care of maintenance, advertisement, security expenses, and other things, which drive prices up.
If you take a look at a few modern Odessa hotels that have been built in recent years, you would notice that they are very expensive. The cheapest rate of the famous hotel “Odessa” was 95 dollars per night. You would also have to pay extra for each additional person in the room.
You can get much better deal if you rent apartment in the center of Odessa near Deribasovskaya street. For $60 per night you could afford the renovated one bedroom apartments with Jacuzzi tub, high-speed internet, DVD player, washing machine, fully stocked kitchen and maid service.
