I'll try this one last time, because I can see English is not your first language. So perhaps you're misunderstanding me. At first, I was talking about renting an apartment in lieu (instead) of a hotel. That was the $150 a day price. Yes, I know that equals $4500 a month, but no one rents those for a month. I was referring to a FEW DAYS. You were the one that brought up monthly prices. If you're going to rent an apartment with a year lease, you claimed that you'd need to spend $5000 to get anything that did not look like the picture you posted. I said this was untrue, I have many - MANY - friends working in Moscow who are not reimbursed housing and do just fine at about $1000 a month. Don't believe me? Go talk to the expats at Expat.ru. On that site, I am "Ghost". Feel free to pm me or start a topic claiming I am wrong and watch the hundreds of expats stomp on you about it. Lastly, you quote your friend who rented a place in Chistie Prudy - which I also said was one of the most expensive areas there is. If you still insist I am wrong, all I can do is nod and just say "ok". I know I'm right. I lived there up until last year, and I still own property there now, off Rubsovskaya Nab.
Nab. is an abbreviation for naberznaya (spelled without cyrillic). Usually means on the river bank. It's just an address.
There are tons of addresses with "Nab." in them. It's just a complementary part of the address. For example, I worked on "Krasnopresnenskaya Nab." I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious.
I was a Muscovite once, so if I am asking a person who wasn't born there for clarification, then why would I be sarcastic? Again, not being sarcastic - I've never heard about such naberezhnaya Of course there is no obligation on your part to answer.
Rubtsovskaya nab. is located somewhere close to the Elektrozavodskaya metro station, on the bank of Yauza river
