Wonderful apartment and very cozy! I can’t wait to see your renovations. And I love that hardwood floor!

[@vs351]

Being a Muscovite I never ever can get this point.....I would say to rent a brand new or used well-decorated flat in about 15 min commuting from the city center is way better and cheapper especially with a public transport so well-developed as in Moscow...Whereever I live I would rather renting some brilliant flat in outscirt than pay a cost of my arm and leg for a central area. Furthermore you have no needs to use a transportation during rush hours. Just my take. 🤨

[@andria.k]

Congratulations 🎉 I hope you enjoy many new things in your new apartment! I love renovations, can't wait to see how you decorate 😄

Muito charmoso o apartamento, gostei do estilo soviético, tudo parece muito bem construído.

too small

[@SteveWallace-lg7fw]

The apartment has a lot of potential. Have fun fixing it up the way you like it. Don’t forget to put up a couple smoke alarms.

[@natyrusa]

без яркого макияжа такая милашка!!! Кстати, я когда начала смотреть, я засомневалась, что это хрущёвка: год постройки (тогда уже брежневки строили), плюс дом похож на мой, а я живу именно в брежневке, но когда увидела кухню, всё встало на свои места - да, это хрущёвка)

Bonjour Lisa, bonne chance dans tes rénovations🔨, connaissant tes talents artistiques✂, je suis certain que cela va être très beau chez toi🏰😲

[@TheSeaOfAsher]

Congradulations on your apartment. Is the utilities included? I would be curious to see the comparison to here in the U.S. We call those shovels in America "dust pans and the brush "the brush" or "broom". Looking forward to seeing the renivoation

[@littlekorjik2593]

Typically water and electricity are not included in the rental. For such a small apartment it will be approximately $25-30.

[@carolinewainwright8365]

You will work your magic. I think the transformation will be beautiful and rewarding.

[@AshleyMcIntosh-zz7kr]

Flat looks fine, a paint job and it will look much better . Dust pan and Brush is the name plus a handy phrase is your flats needing a little TLC( tender loving care). Good luck.

[@fabianpatzschke]

This apartment just needs a little creativity and the hands of a beautiful woman (like you) to create a beautiful and cozy home! A mix of old and new style! The bathroom floor tiles and the wooden floors give the whole thing a very individual character 👍🫶

[@nordicpaul13]

Congratulations on finding yourself a place to live in a nice residential area. The wooden flooring is probably the soviet version of parquet flooring. The apartment has plenty of potential, and with your artistic skills and feminine touch it will be transformed into a beautiful and cosy home. I didn't spot any radiators so is the building heated via hot air heating ducts? I am looking forward to watching your renovation / redecoration updates. Good luck with all the tasks that lay ahead. 🍀🎨🖌🌻

[@ЕленаШепелева-я9у]

Радиаторы есть!

[@lynnpeart4195]

The Apartment is cute .You can put your own touch and it will be cool 💯👍

[@moutanawer]

The wooden floor is nice you can do the sanding and it will look great , paint walls in plain white including kitchen and bathroom (special paint) rooms will look bigger , bath tab can also be painted in white use light natural wood furniture throw old sofas as they are too big for the space, bathroom floor is nice keep it , toilet door ought to be painted in light beige to match furniture and for contrast with white color , washing machine to remove from there and to be installed in kitchen which floor can be covered with vinyl tiles (light wood parquet style) repaint kitchen furniture to match new furniture (white and light wood color) cover the ventilation with small grill net to prevent insect from entering, remove room door, curtains should be Sand color + white. Add green plants 🪴 add large mirrors in room and bathroom , Voila ✨️⚘️

[@mokeerose2129]

The new flat is adorable! Happy to see how you make it your own style.

[@tekpic04]

A very interesting size of the apartment in Moscow for $400 and I know that there will a lot of work to be done throughout the flat. There is something basic I will pass onto you, Lisa, that I do when painting a room, I use some buckets with water to allow it absorb the paint fumes. By employing this method I do all time, you will notice a film of paint on the surface of the water, so the room will not smell. In here Britain, we also have on sale in the shops, the cleaning product, 'Domestos'. The catchy advertising line is..."Domestos"...kill all known germs, dead". Looking forward to the transformation. Thanks

Hello Lisa the Russian. I like your new apartment. Love you. ❤🇷🇺

I admire you doing this! I am much older so would only desire some cosmetic work but you are young and strong and will make this place your own. A great price and I hope it is a strong building with quiet neighbors. Can't wait to see the area.

[@mandadick7093]

Your apartment is beautiful. I've always loved old soviet apartments, especially the ones that haven't been totally renovated and still have some of the original features (like your floors). I find they have a warm and inviting vibe. Also, you had asked about the English word for one of your cleaning items. We would call that a "dust pan," but it does kind of look like a small shovel lol. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦

[@fitzpatrickgf]

That is a Beautiful Apartment Lisa! Very cozy and the location looks nice too! The place looks so nostalgic with the older 1960-70's look! I love the old appliances, wallpaper and drapes, but good to start with fresh new! The wood floors can be cleaned. You made the right choice to find something for less and invest in it! Everything can be made to your perfection! Perhaps you can still keep the sofa and loveseat and reupholster them, or just rinse/vac to steam clean them. Good Luck and please keep posting how your progress is going with the new updates! I can't wait to see how it all looks in the end! 😊👍❤❤❤

[@jthompson120db]

ало ало) I can already see it ... this is going ot look very nice, my friend)) And here is a plant for your new place 🤲🌳... the place just needs a little touch of Lisa

[@JFJ12]

I thought in old soviet buildings on every floor there was a babushka sitting behind a table, eagerly watching whoever entered or left, with a red line to the secret police 🤔

[@littlekorjik2593]

With a bottle of vodka and a guard bear 😂 Столько времени прошло, но стереотипы сильнее

[@littlekorjik2593]

@@doe_3891 😄

[@JFJ12]

Obviously, after Lisa showing us around in a Krushovka, it cannot have been in a residential building. I guess the babushka's behind their tables watching every strange move, must have taken post in the big hotels where foreigners arrived and stayed in the Soviet days. As what we read back then, they guarded a long corridor each, which is what a typical hotel corridor looks like.

[@IT_Tonny]

Лиса, самые агли полы) Они и еще и темные не будут сочетаться с белой мебелью, советую тебе что то с ним сделать, особенно если ты снова белые обои наклеишь. Для съемной кинь самый дешевый белый ковролин например, не забудь про белые блэкаут шторы. Мебель лучше всего красит спец краской, предварительно загрнтовав)

[@stevan4350]

In reality it’s better than my house and space in Germany, my house from 1960s

[@jarmosalonen2068]

It looked quite ok and clean as it was. Of course if you have money to spend for renovation. Remember some of these pensioners barely are able to pay utilities, food and their medicines.

[@lilipop6990]

😂 ,эти московские пенсионеры могут жить на курорте и сдавать второе или третье свое жилье

[@littlekorjik2593]

Информация для иностранцев: У московских пенсионеров маленькие пенсии, но они имеют льготы по оплате коммунальных услуг 50% и освобождены от налога на один объект жилья, также для них бесплатный проезд на всех видах муниципального транспорта. Этого хватает на питание и оплату коммуналки, с лекарствами сложнее, т.к. "дружественные страны запада" ввели санкции на некоторые очень важные лекарства, особенно для диабетиков(!) Приходится искать и переплачивать. А летом почти вся Москва разъезжается по личным дачам дышать свежим воздухом, выращивать цветы и органические овощи/фрукты 🌻🌷🍓🥒🍅🥕

[@ИринаИванова-в4у4м]

Московские пенсионеры сдают свои квартиры в аренду и им вполне хватает нормально жить.

[@simonyang-pe3ux]

Those are high-quality residential buildings based on the facts that it was built in early 60s. but it seems that there have some refurbishments and decorations ahead of settle down.

What we do sometimes in America..when we have a few friends..guys and girls..they come and make it a cleaning project..if they have a day off..$400 is not that much..but I see where changes can be made..and color should be added or changed..sometimes plain is not good and new color gives the place your personality..blues.,pink..yellow..light brown..

Hi Lisa: Economics plays a part in your choice of apartment, and it is sensible and cost effective which saves money. This apartment is slightly old; but with some cleaning, and installation of wall paper, new drapes and furniture it will look grand. Good luck with the home renovation lovely Lisa and I look forward to seeing your progress with your apartment.

[@tedhazlett]

If you do a really good job, maybe your landlord will hire you to renovate ALL the apartments in his building? (Only kidding). Seriously, I appreciate all the time and effort that it must take to make such quality content on your KZbin channel. I pray that when your lease is up in one year, that your channel will have grown so much that you can afford any apartment that you want to live in.

[@halkak7967]

There is no such thing as the owner of 'all the apartments' in that building😉 Every apartment there has its own owner. Lisa's landlord might have inherited that property from their grandma (a very typical scenario) or another relative and thus rents it out for extra income living in their other apartment in Moscow or elsewhere.

[@tedhazlett]

Thank you for the explanation. I live in the United States and I watch content like this to learn how things work in other countries. I use to own several small muti-unit houses in Pennsylvania that I renovated and maintained (My goal was to be a “good” slumlord). I just assumed that it worked like that in other countries also. Although, there are Condominiums for sale in the USA that work kind of like you described. The point of my original comment was that I saw a lot of work that needs to be done in that apartment and often these renovations turn into a “money pit”. Lisa might turn out to be a great handyman, but it might be best for her to invest her time and money into continuing to grow her channel. Hopefully she can stick to her $200 budget, but I just spent that amount on enough paint to just repaint the ceilings on our small home in North Carolina. I watched her start to scrape wallpaper off the walls standing on the arms of a plush chair. A good fiberglass 6” ladder costs over $200 in America!

[@bismarckgarcianavarro2693]

400 $ for live in Moscow, thats crazy and very affordable, my dreams will be acomplished more soon than I thought

[@Dungshoveleux]

A very typical apartment that has not been seriously repaired since perestroika. RBL36,000/USD400 per month is a bargain given inflation. In 2018, that was the price of a 2 room 42m2 apartment in Sokolniki. So long as the water works, electric works, and no drafts from outside, its fine. I think it was previously lived in in by an old babushka or dedushka. Be sure to read the electric, gas and water meters every month in order to keep the bills down (normally the owner pays the bills (they are in the owner's name - they have the propiska there). You email the meter readings to them so they do not pay the maximum charge. Do not renovate without the agreement of the owner(s). Negotiate!

[@halkak7967]

The owner of this flat might have their residential registration(or propiska as you called it in a Soviet manner) elsewhere, e.g. in another flat they also own or in some flat owned by their family members.
