If anyone interested in sharing the cost of rent of the apartment in St. Petersburg, how do i go about it?

Leningradez Stan Post Count: 5 Msg: #3 23 days ago, November 2nd 2009 | Hi Jo, | Thank you for explanation! I'd like to ad to my post; In my previous visits i tried: to stay with relatives(wasn't good idea). I felt restricted and obligated. to rent a room(also wasn't good). Owners of the apartment happened to be drunks. to rent a mini-hotel $180 a night in july (Nevskiy prospekt). Well, a little steep and it was a dump after all. So this time i decided to rent an apartment, whether i find anyone to share or not. For my self, i need 1 room apartment(don't know if my wife will come with me or not). And i wouldn't want to share a room with a stranger. Therefore if there was another couple i would go for 2 room apartment. A dissent 2 room apart would cost around $120-$150(in august) and has all you need and more. For example a kitchen is a great asset, considering the prices to eat out. Even one home cooked meal a day will save a good chunk of money over a 2-3 week period of time. edd y Edd Yerburgh Post Count: 17 Msg: #4 15 days ago, November 9th 2009 | Are there no hostels or cheaper accomodation? 180$ a night is steep! | Leningradez Stan Post Count: 5 Msg: #5 15 days ago, November 9th 2009 | Yes, of course there are. I may be wrong but hostel to me is a dorm. Not much in a way of privacy and of course you have to share washrooms and showers with a large number of people. I may have preconceive notion, but i think hostels are for younger crowd. | Besides, i am planning to visit for a month and want to be able to cook at least some meals. So an apartment would be a good option, especially if i could rent it by monthly, not by daily ($150x30=$4500). The very similar apartment would cost $600-$800 if rented for long term. I don't expect to be given the long term price for the short term stay, yet the gap is huge. That is why i am looking to share the cost with possibly another couple.
