We recently stayed with an overnight stay in Voronezh. It took us a long time to get there from Moscow, but the main reason was that we left only at 12 noon, as always before leaving there is something that must be done. Plus, for lunch and daytime sleep, Yegor stopped, which took another 3 hours. Let me remind you that he does not sleep in our car. So we arrived in Voronezh at 21 o'clock.
To be honest, I am disappointed with the apartment we rented. The first time is like this, before that, the housing has always met the expectations and description on the site. No, the apartment is quite suitable for transit, but either we are getting old and become more squeamish, or it should be cheaper in order to pay less attention to all sorts of little things. Familiar?

Price and booking
Through Airbnb, you can rent housing from individuals and without intermediaries, both for a day, and for a week, a month. If you register with the service, you can get a $ 20 bonus using this link. The bonus can be used within a year after registration by making the first booking. And be sure to check out my post. about Airbnb, in which I told how to register, how to verify an account, how to look for accommodation, etc..
Here is a link to this apartment where you can book it through Airbnb. It costs 1,500 rubles per day. But I'd rather look for something else.
Interior
Since we only planned to spend the night, I did not look for accommodation for long, just limiting myself to the price (up to 1,500 rubles) and the area (along the road along which we will go to the M4). According to the photographs, it was possible to rent only two options with non-grandmother's furniture, I was mainly interested in the bed, since it is still a pleasure to sleep on squeezed sofas. However, we have not guessed.
Very simple interior, but there is everything you need: wardrobes, bed, folding sofas, separate bathroom, washing machine, balcony, air conditioning in the bedroom. The kitchen is also well equipped: refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, kettle. The apartment is one-room, but large in size. Generally clean, but there are also dirty places.
This is where the advantages end. The renovation is a bit old and most likely from the developer, dim lighting, open communications (pipes), and for some reason some butterflies are stuck on the walls, a kind of design hint. A picture of a naked girl hangs above the bed, which suggests some thoughts about the purpose of the apartment. In the bathroom and toilet, the plaster on the ceiling, a very inconvenient mixer at the sink, and the rooms, although more or less clean, do not really want to be there. But most importantly, the apartment was smoked, and I really do not like the smell of smoke. The apartment rules do not say anything about smoking, so maybe you can smoke here. After airing, it became more or less normal, but still the smell remained. And the carpet on the floor, how long ago they did it wet cleaning?

Sleeping places are also not a strong point of this housing. An old double mattress with springs digging into the sides. The mattress topper could have saved the situation, but it's not there. And the bad thing is that the sheet is not special for mattresses with an elastic band, but ordinary, moreover, of a small size, which is why it cannot be refilled. During sleep, she will get confused, and lying on the mattress with her naked body is not very pleasant. True, you can ask for a second sheet, supposedly for a second folding sofa, then two will be enough to normally cover the entire area of the mattress. By the way, you can sleep on the sofa, but it is one and a half sleeping and uncomfortable for sleeping.
What did not like
I thought a little more, and seemed to understand why I didn’t like it. The older, the more I do not like other people's old things and dirt. It's one thing, your own, for example, an old sofa, which you bought yourself and took to your dacha, knowing its entire history. Another thing is the sofa on which thousands of bodies slept (sweated). Well, for me, the smell plays a huge role, I am too sensitive to them. Smokiness creates the impression of some kind of brothel, especially if this is combined with other factors, such as peeling plaster on the ceiling.
Accommodation on Airbnb can be divided into two categories: where the owners themselves live, and apartments that are strictly rented. In the first case, you come almost like visiting friends, and if the owner is clean, then there should be no rejection. Well, it's dirty somewhere, old something, well, it happens. You know that this is all from one person who is like a friend. Apartments, in which they do not live, and which are constantly rented out, are akin to hotels, and you perceive them that way. Therefore, if such «hotel» dirty / shabby / smoky, then immediately there is a feeling of a passage yard, which is not particularly watched.
I concluded for myself that if I come to an apartment that is sharpened purely for rent, then everything should be relatively new and clean, and even better, even in the style of minimalism than with old furniture.
On the map
The apartment is located quite conveniently, as the railway station is within walking distance from it. It is also convenient for transit by car, not far from the highway passing through Voronezh. Opposite the house there is a small 24-hour grocery store, a 5-minute walk from an ATM (Sberbank) and a supermarket.

P.S. I can recommend the apartment only for transit or picky travelers. 2 years ago we stayed here in this apartment, for the same money and it was much better. Why didn't I choose that apartment, you ask? My answer is, I'm interested in exploring something new 🙂
