We are happy he stayed with us and used our services and liked our daily rental apartments as well as our airport/train stations transfers.

Next STEP
For someone who has seen so much of the world, we were really interested to see if there were any places still on Fred’s bucket list. And, there are! Fred admitted he would like to fly on Virgin Galactic to visit outer space. He said, “I would like to visit the moon and see how beautiful Earth looks from there.”

Independence Square

kievaptadmin — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 05:30:06 +0000

Situated at the northern end of Khreschatyk, Kiev’s Independence Square received global media attention in 2004 as the focal point of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution. Today, things have calmed down a little and the tented city that sprung up overnight has long gone. Independence Square, however, is still the city’s most popular spot for meetings, late night drinking and people watching.

The glass domes found on the square are actually the skylights of Globus, an upmarket underground shopping mall that lies beneath the square (the press kiosk here is one of the best places to buy foreign newspapers and magazines). Independence Square is also home to the Central Post Office and the Hotel Ukraina. The hotel that we would not recommend you to stay at.

There are number of hotels and Apartment services like our we would recommend. Yes even though we might miss a client our goal is to make client stay enjoyable – we will still might services the airport transfers, provide with a tour guide or translation services, will get you train tickets or local air tickets for the discounted price – and will do all we can to make sure YOU as a client will come back to Kiev.

As we take you for the tour we will tell you

- how many times the square had been changed

- how deep is the mall under the glassed roof

- what each mayor had done to the square

- how old is the square and how many names it had

and more and more and more

The Chornobyl Museum

kievaptadmin — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 14:39:56 +0000

Kiev Apartment recommends the Chornobyl Tour.

The Chornobyl Museum was opened on April 26, 1992, exactly 6 years after the disaster happened. It tells the history of what happened through photos, clothes and equipment used by the rescue workers, a model of the nuclear plant as it looked before the explosion, videos and tapes. It is an arresting experience.

One of the main photos shows a helicopter that was pouring out water or some kind of powder to cease the fire at the reactor. When it passed over the reactor the tail was shrinkled and the helicopter turned upside down before crashing. The faces shows the staff (four of them) on the helicopter. This scene was very touching and I had to watch it a few times.

During your visit, there also may be an exhibition about the Fukushima disaster in 2011.

Working hours:
Monday – Friday 10.00 – 17.00
Saturday 10.00 – 16.30
Admission fee 10 Hryvnia, plus extra 20 Hryvnia for taking photos.

Address: Prov. Khoryva 1.

Phone: +38 (044) 417 54 22
