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.
We stayed in the unit above us once and when we heard that this apartment was for sale we did not hesitate.
This apt is very convenient to get to attractions. Plenty of places to eat and buy small amounts of groceries. Comes with washing machine!! Close to shopping at Nevsky Prospekt. Close to metro even though we never used it. We walked everywhere. The building has an elevator so you won't have to carry your bags upstairs. Peter is very helpful with info and delivered on all his promises. No noise from the McDonald's downstairs!
We loved staying in this apartment. My husband and I and another couple were in St. Petersburg for a week this month. This apartment was perfect. It was very tastefully redone and has all of the amenities one would want. The kitchen was completely equipped. The eating area and living room are very large. Although on a centrally located and busy street, we heard no street noise in the apartment. It has a phone, TV, and laptop computer and printer, and even air conditioning in each room. (We actually had four days of warm weather.)
There is a washer, dishwasher, microwave, full refrigerator/freezer, and stove.
It was convenient to many St. Petersburg sites and restaurants. There is a decent supermarket two blocks away, a wonderful bakery around the corner. and a bank with a good exchange rate across the street. It is also one block from the metro.
This apartment made a great contribution to a rich and enjoyable week in St. Petersburg.
Put St. Petersburg on your list, and stay in this apartment!
This apartment is absolutely tops. Spacious, beautifully appointed, has absolutely everything you need, friendly and helpful host.
The apartment in St. Petersburg was magnifico! Luxurious, spacious, spotless and extremely well equipped. The kitchen was a dream! We loved the dining area with its three-pane bay window, giving us a panoramic view of life in St. Petersburg. We were extremely grateful for the opportunity to question both the owner and his staff on our concerns of the moment, they were gracious.
The location of the apartment was equally fabulous; we were within a five-minute walk of almost all of St. Petersburg’s highlights including the grand metro, mere moments away. The restaurants in the immediate vicinity were top-notch at every level.
One couldn’t ask for more!
Everything went well. Very professional service. The flat is fantastic, brand new and central. We much appreciated the quality of the details and the taste of the furniture. The deposit was paid back quickly and without difficulty. The contact before, during and after was excellent. Really to be recommended!

We had a wonderful stay in the apartment in St. Petersburg during the White Nights. The location is perfect and the wide window sills in the kitchen and living room are great for people watching. Everything was within footsteps of the apartment, including the ATM, groceries, and of course the Hermitage. The apartment is spotless and well provisioned. The Wifi was a big plus, as was the complementary Chrome Book on the desk in the living room. We were 7 adults so we used the fold-outs in the living room and kitchen. Everyone was comfortable. We would definitely come back or recommend it to friends!
