Photos and Description of this St Petersburg holiday apartment
Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-8)

The apartment is on Bolshaya Morskaya ulitsa (the same street as Faberge & Nabokov lived on) located in the very centre of central Saint Petersburg. It is the best location within the Golden Triangle, that is the area bounded by the Neva river & the Fontanka canal, it is the heart of the old city & contains most of the museums. The apartment is available for short term or long term rentals. It was completely renovated in 2008, new floors, new ceilings, walls re-plastered, new room layout. There are two bathrooms, one is ensuite. Every room has air conditioning. The apartment is on the second floor (immediately above the ground floor), it is 50 metres from Nevsky prospekt, 150 metres from palace square & the Hermitage, it is very central! It has 2 sofa beds one in the living room & one in the sitting room, so could sleep up to 8.

History of the House Jako: In the middle of the XVIII century the land on the which the house was built was occupied by a temporary palace of Empress Elizabeth. After dismantling of the palace there were the royal kitchens and the Throne Hall. The Throne Hall was then given to sculptor E. Falcone for work on the monument to Peter the Great also know as the 'Bronze Horseman'.

Falcone moved here in 1766 & he rebuilt the building which housed the former palace kitchen. He set up a scaffold for his work in the yard. In 1773, Falcone was visited by his friend the french philosopher Diderot, he stayed in the house until 1778, when he returned to France.

After the departure of the French the site housed a warehouse of marble for the construction of a number of buildings which gave rise to the naming of the laneway at the side of the bulding: Kirpichny (brick) lane. In 1801 the site owned by a merchant, the Prussian consul in St. Petersburg, when a residential two-storey house was built. In 1822 his heirs divied the land in two, the side adjacent to the Bolshaya Morskaya Street in 1836 was sold to architect Paul Jaco who designed many historical buildings in St. Petesburg.

In the years 1837-1838 Jaco built the current four-story building. Iron girders were used in the construction of first floor windows - an innovation in the local civil engineering. In 1842 Faberge started his business with the openning of a workshop in the basement. During the 1860s Chief Marshal Count Ivan M. Tolstoy lived in hosue Jaco, who had been former Senator and Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, a member of the State Council. Jaco house remained in the his family until 1917.

In the 1930s the kirpichny (brick) lane end of the house become the 'House of Artists', or an artists commune.

The Perfect Place to stay in Petersburg

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 9 January 2013 Date of Stay: December 2012
We just returned from two chilly but fabulous weeks in St. Petersburg. The day after we returned home, I checked the calendar for this property's availability in June! I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The location is better than perfect, and the apartment has everything you could possibly need or want. I had a couple of questions after we arrived, and I was able to get those answered immediately. I can't think of any reason to hesitate - this should be your first choice for a vacation rental in St. Petersburg!

Awesome apartment!!!

Review Submitted: 27 September 2012 Date of Stay: September 2012
Stayed for a week in early September in this great apartment. Spacious and recently remodeled. Perfect locations - one block to the metro and Nevisky Prospect - 3-5 minute walk to the Hermaitage Museum. The owners, Peter and Yana, live in Ireland but still provided helpful information and Tatiana serves as your local greeter and host and all do a speldid job. Highly recommend this place to all - you won't be disappointed.

Great & Luxurious apartment Center-St Petersburg

Great & Luxurious apartment Center-St Petersburg
Review Submitted: 27 September 2012 Date of Stay: August 2012
Our entire family of 8 persons stayed in Peter & Yana’s apartment on Bolshaya Morskaya this month in august 2012, and we loved it!!
The location of the apartment was great -right in the center of the city and a short walk from the Hermitage and all the center city museums & attractions and only 1 minute walk from admiralteiskaya metro station. The service was wonderful, and hospitality was warm. We were treated royally! The apartment also had a nice kitchen with all the appliances including microwave, fridge, stove, oven, & dishwasher; also a washing machine to wash clothes plus towels, soap, hair products & other useful travel items.
We greatly recommend this as luxuruous center-city accomodations with great service!!!

Excellent apartment

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 6 July 2012 Date of Stay: May 2012
All was exactly as described. The owners are very helpful, and of course honest. The apartment is very clean, tastefully decorated, and and the kitchen is a treat. The location was incredible -- just off Nevsky Prspt, a few hundred meters from the Hermitage. Restaurants very convenient, as was food and beer/wine/spirits shopping. The McDonalds downstairs was not an issue -- even at night we could never hear noise -- since the walls are so thick. We were there for a week, and the apartment made life easy for us.
