Nice place in central Samara

Large, clean, and centrally located. Nice size bedrooms, enough room for the 5 of us to live together comfortably. A/C works great. Walk to the beach in about 5 minutes through the center of town. You can also walk to all the restaurants very easily in minutes. Recommended.

Family villa in the heart of samara

great place to stay in the heart of samara, i stayed here with my family, which included our kids (3, 6, and 10 months), my wife, and her parents. we were very comfortable with the space, the kitchen was nice and big which helped prepare a few meals. the villa's location was excellent. we didnt have a car and stayed here for a week, we mostly walked everywhere and if you needed to go somewhere a little far, uber was available. the villa had some nice extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, and they were very appreciated. the villa was also located right next to two main stores so getting groceries was not time consuming whatsoever. i would highly recommend this place to someone looking for a decent size place to have a big family.
