Young families without children, students and one or two workers who come to Moscow often face financial problems. As a rule, they are associated primarily with expensive housing. Renting an apartment, buying your own square meters often become overwhelming.

It is impossible to huddle in a multi-bed dormitory or hostel for more than one month, and even more so permanently. We have to look for an alternative. And she is! There is a great option - a hostel apartment type. In Moscow, they can be found everywhere and with any type of purchase:

• Rent a room for short or long term;
• buying a resale room;
• buying a room in a new building.

It is worth talking about each option separately.

Purchase on the secondary market and in a new building

There are a lot of houses in the capital that are officially called hostels. They were originally built for workers. Unfortunately, in most of them, apartments do not have personal kitchens or amenities. If asuch a minus is not fundamental, then you can find a room with a low cost. Moreover, such rooms have a very small area (about 15 square meters).

In modern new buildings, the rooms are more comfortable, and the layout allows you to turn it into a full-fledged apartment. What is it? The fact is that they began to build houses more often, the rooms in which have their own bathroom and kitchen. There are options with their own loggia. Of course, you can call such a living space a one-room apartment. The living room area can be more than 12 square meters. The cost of a new room depends on the area and conditions, geographical location. At a lower cost, but quality housing can be purchased either on the outskirts of the capital, or outside the Moscow Ring Road.

Of course, it is best for a young family to choose an apartment-type hostel in Moscow in a new building, where they have their own amenities and even a separate kitchen with a balcony / loggia. After all, you have to live in one living space for more than one year. In addition, this option is ideal for single people who want to retire, or for those who do not like to wait a long time for their turn, share life with other people.

Remember to choose your room carefully. You should not agree to buy the first one you like. If you don’t have enough money just a little bit to buy a full-fledged room-apartment, but already enough to buy a clean room without amenities, then it’s better not to rush, if possible, save up for your dream.

Studio apartment or dorm room

Among Muscovites and those who wish to stay in the capital forever, sometimes the question arises: an apartment or a room? Of course, a one-room apartment is better. But if the room has a bathroom and a partition with a kitchen, then why not consider such square meters due to lack of funds for an apartment? They are no better in this case. The only difference is that, most likely, there will be neither a hallway nor a balcony. Everything else is the same.

It is no coincidence that the name "apartment-type hostel" appeared. In Moscow, and not only in the capital, as a rule, every hostel has a concierge or a security guard. There are, of course, exceptions. But most often, if unpleasant events suddenly occur that require the intervention of security or law enforcement agencies, there is always an opportunity to prevent trouble.

Room layout

The layout of living space in an apartment-type hostel in Moscow may differ slightly. But most often consists of:

• rooms with a window, in which there is a bed or sofa, table, wardrobe and other things;
• a small kitchen with a spacious suite and a washbasin;
• front door.

A huge plus, of course, will be a private balcony and a toilet with a shower. Usually the entrance to the bathroom is located either from the side of the room, or from the side of the kitchen. Ideal if there is room for a refrigerator in the catering department.

Design your own apartment room

Suppose you bought a living space in Moscow - a hostelapartment type. But you want to equip everything in your home so that it resembles a real and full-fledged apartment. This is easy to do, just choose a design, clearly plan how the sleeping area and living room, as well as a place to work, should be fenced.

Currently, you can purchase cabinets, racks, which are designed to also serve as a wall/partition. More budgetary devices are often used - screens.

In which districts of Moscow you can rent a room

If you plan to rent rather than buy a room, for example, in the center, then you can familiarize yourself with the apartment-type hostel on Taganskaya. For guests are offered 2-, 4- and 6-bed rooms with daily payment. Of course, such apartments are suitable for shift workers, business travelers.

If the place of work is located in the north of the capital or outside the Moscow Ring Road, you can, for example, choose an apartment-type hostel in Khimki or Mytishchi.

Wish you find a quiet and comfortable apartment-room of your dreams!
