Where should a tourist stay in Yekaterinburg? The first option that comes to mind is to rent a hotel room. But perhaps there are more advantageous options? A decent hotel room is not cheap; prices in Yekaterinburg hotels are quite high due to the large number of business travelers and professionals coming to this industrial center of the Urals. Moreover, many travelers do not like the official atmosphere of hotels; it is impossible to cook food yourself or do laundry.
Therefore, a good alternative to a hotel can be renting apartments by the day. Depending on their financial capabilities, a tourist can choose an apartment with one, two, or three rooms, with simple or luxury furnishings. It is possible to pick accommodation with a convenient location. The best short-term rental apartments are located in the center of Yekaterinburg, near public transport stops.
Renting an apartment instead of a hotel room gives a tourist several advantages:
1) the cost of living is usually lower;
2) the area of the apartment including kitchen and bathroom is usually larger;
3) the apartment has a cozy, homely atmosphere conducive to relaxation;
4) having a kitchen allows you to cook your own food and thereby save significantly on meals (and for travelers with children or those preferring dietary food, a kitchen is not even a nice bonus, but a necessity);
5) as a rule, apartments have larger refrigerators than mini-refrigerators in hotels, and there is an electric kettle, stove, microwave, and a set of dishes;
6) most apartments also have a washing machine, which saves money on laundry;
7) a large family or group can fit into a two- or three-room apartment instead of renting several rooms.
All apartments rented by the day have decent furnishings and a minimum of necessary appliances. Cleanliness and linen changes are guaranteed. For demanding tourists, there is the option to rent an apartment with designer renovation, expensive furniture, and the latest appliances, allowing you to relax in Yekaterinburg with maximum comfort.
