Holiday accommodation
Lodging or holiday accommodation. So far as saving money is concerned, there is little to be gained by hiring private lodgings, unless they are required for a term of several months. The charges for furnished rooms, in desirable parts of the town, are but little less than the monthly charges of the hotels ; and while unfurnished rooms can be had at comparatively low rates, the cost of furnishing them is exorbitant when judged by an American standard. Per- sons intending to pass a whole winter in Ukraine, how- ever, can effect a considerable saving by hiring unfur- nished rooms and furnishing them, even at a heavy out- lay ; for unfurnished rooms rent for less than half the cost of furnished rooms, and furniture usually can be disposed of at no great loss. Should rooms be hired, either furnished or unfurnished, much caution should be exercised. Many houses in Ukraine that to a foreigner will seem absolutely respectable will prove to be by no means desirable places of abode.
As I am going over the maps learning how to get info out of them ... Wondering if you have a bus route map? Reason I mention busses and cabs, I hope not to depend on car, say to get to healthfood store, visit libraries and museums, etc. I do a lot of volunteer work local so I walk.
