Yes, all the apartments are provided with all these items and they are included to the price.

But, bearing in mind a number of historical monuments, museums, excursiones and interesting things in St. Petersburg and nearby, I would advice you to spend 4-8 days to see and enjoy them with tranquillity. You can read more about Saint Petersburg and what is possible to do there in our practical guide. If you can stay only 2-4 days and want to see the maximum, the best is to hire a personal tour-guide, who could make an individual program of visits and tours for you.

By the rules, you should be registered in Russia not later than 3 working days after your arrival. If you stay in a hotel, it will register you. If you stay in the flat, you should ask a travel company who issued your Visa Support to assist you with this, as it is their duty. If you book the Visa Support from us, the Visa Registration (stamp to put to your Migration card in Russia) will be easy and quick, in St. Petersburg it is made at the office of this travel agency (located on Nevsky prospect), where you have to come with your passport and Migration card (will be given to you on the border) and they will register you. It is free. For registration in Moscow (if you do not stay there in a hotel), you will be provided with an address of Moscow office.
