I recently traveled to Gelendzhik by car and stopped on the way spend the night in apartments, not hotels. I also tasted the service Airbnb (my review). But in the comments to these articles, some people wrote that they like hotels more. I would like hear exactly what are the advantages of hotels in front of the apartment, if we are talking about Russia (not abroad!). In turn, I will write the advantages of renting an apartment and give a specific example of an apartment in Voronezh, where I stayed.

Prehistory
I needed to get from Moscow to Gelendzhik, and Voronezh as time well suited to stay overnight road from Moscow to Krasnodar region.
At first, I began to look for hotels by old memory. First through RoomGuru, since there surely will be the maximum of everything shown (right all reservation systems). But there were not very many offers, moreover, or not very good in the reviews, or we are not suitable, or the same expensive (somewhere from 3 thousand and above). Here for example the hotel Dubrava (from 2200r per day). Plus, not so long ago, my friends went by the same route and told where they stayed, according to their experience hotels were worth it too. Then I remembered that there is apartments and started watching them already. Maybe if i’m more I spent time searching for hotels, I would have found something normal, but, having seen photos of apartments, such a desire did not arise, therefore I rented an apartment for rent.
Here, of course, I must say that some comfortable conditions type of kitchen or large area of the room, but almost for any The flat is cheaper than a hotel, and there’s nothing in it inferior. Of course, there are hotels for 500 rubles, but it seems to me that better to spend the night in a tent. I remember somehow without a child I stayed at a motel in the form of a compartment car (right before Voronezh), paid 200 rubles for a bed with old linen or 800 for coupe.
This is not a train, this is a motel, 200r per bed
Apartment in Voronezh
Since I monitored Voronezh most of all, I will speak on his example. The cost of an apartment in Voronezh per day on average varies from 1000 rubles to 2000 rubles. There are more expensive. I chose a certain the average option for 1500 rubles.
What did I get for 1500 rubles
- Large space, about 40-50 sq. M, so that Egor could have plenty crawl after the close cabin of the car
- Renovation throughout the apartment, clean linen and towels
- Bed and sofa
- Air conditioning and unlimited Wifi Internet
- Kitchen with kettle, microwave and fridge where you can cook baby food
- Normal bath with washing machine

Where to take
If someone decides to rent an apartment in Voronezh, here you phone the hostess of the apartment – + 7-920-211-6772 (Elena), like at her several apartments. I recommend, without intermediaries. Only better call in advance, otherwise it may already be busy, I almost flew by
But it’s better to even search and book an apartment on Airbnb, exactly directly from the owners of the ad, only the service takes a small commission. The more I use this service, the more I like it, very comfortable, you choose to sit in advance, then book through the site and all No calls and unnecessary gestures.

Minuses
The only negative compared with the hotel I see in the absence of a cafe. On the other hand, not all hotels have a cafe, not all cafes have something edible, and not every cafe will work around the clock. I, for example, only about 23 hours settled in the apartment. And when a great desire, you can drive somewhere along the road, if it is large city.
It seems to me that this level of comfort is quite difficult to get. in the hotel for 1500 rubles. So, here’s the question: what is apartment worse hotel for you?
P.S. Perhaps other apartments where I was not, much worse for these money, but all that I saw in Airbnb in Voronezh, judging by photos, very decent. So I am for to rent an apartment!
