Hi,

My wife and young stepson are from Yaroslavl and she does know anyone in Moscow. Where can she stay that is with walking distance of the Consulate (within about a one kilometer radius) that is safe and doesn't cost a fortune? Her interview is at 8 AM so I guess she is first. She doesn't want to stay far away and have to deal with subways and all in rush hour with a young child. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Look up City Realty in Moscow. They have a number of apartments they rent out by the night, some of which are only a block or two from the embassy! Very reasonable prices too.

Have her check out Russian Girl Friday. She'll arrange for everything.

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

Arbat Hotel is kinda primitive, but it's cheap and around 1.25km from the embassy. Pekin also isn't too far away, and better.

Most of the hotels in that area are *not* cheap: Lotte, Golden Ring, Radisson Royal...

Agree with others that apartment is probably your best shot.

This one is good and while not luxurious, is clean and comfortable, has some modern amenities (satellite TV and wifi mainly), is reasonably priced, and is very close to the Embassy. Victor had a good experience staying there during his interview process. :)
