Venice of the North - perfect Russian vacation

Hotel was perfect and would happily stay there again and again. Counter space in bathroom was spacious enough to set our personal toilette items. Lightning around mirror perfect for me. However no working electrical outlet for my curling iron a big problem.

Driver and guide were excellent.

A good idea would be to alert travelers to the rampant street crime. Of course we took our usual precautions when traveling but this time it was far far worse than anything we had encountered anywhere else in the past. Our one sour note in our otherwise perfect Russian vacation. Thank you.
