Housing
Type of housing: hotel
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Stove, bigger fridge, and just the freedom to do more grocery shopping as opposed to eating out all the time. And a phone would be good as opposed to going down to the phone booth and spending 10 dollars for 2 minutes of international connection.

Personal comments
Defintely Radost FX - it's hard to find but if you're in the know it's such a great place to begin your evening and end your morning. Great food, cheap, and an intoxicating atmosphere. It's a good mixture of locals and travelers in the know. It's a gallery, a restaurant, a bar, and a club all under one roof.
