D Apartments on Srednaya Podyachnaya street

Apartment for 4 guests with 2 bedrooms and stunning views of the Griboyedov Canal and St. Nicholas Cathedral. This house is called the House of Ivan Valkha or "The House of the old woman-the Percenter" and is famous and important for the fact that the great Alexander Griboyedov lived and partied in it from 1816 to 1818. It was in honor of this event that the Catherine Canal, on which the house stands, was renamed the Griboyedov Canal. He began to write here "Woe from Wit" (inspired by the translation of a French play that Prince A. Shakhovskaya, his friend who lived in the house opposite, across the canal, advised him) and the whole world of then liberal St. Petersburg visited him - all the members of the Union of Salvation and the Decembrists and Pushkin himself, who was friends with Kaverin, Griboyedov's best friend. And it is also believed that an old woman, Alyona Ivanovna, lived in our house, yes, the same one from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. We will always be in touch with you and, if necessary, we will try to help in any difficult situation. If you value independence and unobtrusive service, you will enjoy a convenient and fast check-in without a key and waste of time.
