Near to Lenina str is a good \"walking place\". you will find markets, (Central Market best of all), numerous shops, theatre, mall, restaurants - You will find menus also printed in english in \"Mask\" restaurant, if easier for you. Also on Lenin str there is an internet cafe and a pay phone shop (though you probably will wish to buy a cellphone with Kyivstar service). There are many places in/around Lenin str where you can buy cell phones and phone cards. If long term, you might consider buying a place. I will return in 19-22 more days. If I think of it I will try to post more resources along the lines of what you ask. As to luxury, I prefer budget accommodations so I have more money to spend with my girlfriend! I have never had any problem with \"security\", just use your common large-city sense and lock your door and you\'ll be fine. Arrange yourself a translator if you don\'t have one and need one; certainly learn the alphabet and what you can of the language - english alone will not be adequate for your personal needs in Kremenchuk. Do your best with Russian and even if your Russian is poor (Like mine) you will find people very friendly and helpful.
