Residents of Sevastopol, who earn money by renting out housing, have adopted the habits of their colleagues from the southern coast of Crimea - they are in no hurry to reduce prices and refuse to work with tourists who are on vacation for two or three days.

The publication's journalists conducted an experiment, calling a dozen mini-hotels in search of the most acceptable option. As it turns out, contrary to commercial logic, landlords raise prices in direct proportion to the number of clients - they ask for 300 rubles per day for a company of two or three people and at least 400 for a company of four or five. A typical dialogue repeated a dozen times: “Hello, there are five of us, and we would like to come to you for a few days.” - “How much specifically? If it’s less than a week, then we don’t have any offers for you.”
The publication notes that the owners of Sevastopol mini-hotels simply do not want to strain themselves.
“Why bother? Rental prices are high, I’d rather wait quietly, and when clients appear who will move in for a week or two, and then you can wait a month again,” one of the landlords told reporters.
