Search queries like “rent an apartment in Kyiv with no power outages” or “apartment rental where the electricity is not turned off” are becoming increasingly popular. Guests, tourists, and business travelers want to find accommodation where they don’t have to worry about interruptions in electricity supply.
However, it’s important to be honest: there are currently no districts in Kyiv where the power is never turned off. If someone promises you complete immunity from outages, it is almost certainly not true.
This applies to our apart-hotel barasport city apartments as well. We truly understand how inconvenient this can be during your trip, and we do everything possible to ensure our guests feel comfortable and safe.
Why There Are No Apartments in Kyiv Without Power Outages
Due to the consequences of Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, Kyiv—like most cities—operates under schedules of stabilization and emergency outages. All districts of the capital are included in the rotation.
At best, certain buildings may experience slightly shorter outage periods, but full immunity does not exist.
That is why search requests like “rent an apartment in Kyiv with no power cuts” are more an attempt to find the most comfortable conditions rather than a guarantee of their reality.
How Long Do Outages Usually Last?
Power outages typically last 3–4 hours. It is unpleasant, of course, but far from critical—you can use this time productively or simply rest.
What to Do During a Power Outage
Here are some simple but effective ideas to help pass the time comfortably:
- read a book or listen to an audiobook
- watch a movie or series downloaded in advance
- work on your laptop (the battery usually lasts 2–5 hours)
- take a walk in central Kyiv
- visit a café, pub, or restaurant with backup power
- take a short break or nap
- enjoy board games or plan your next travels
How to Prepare for a Power Outage
So that the blackout doesn’t catch you off guard, we recommend the following:
1. Check Power Outage Schedules
- Use the Kyiv Digital app – it shows real-time schedules for your zone.
- On the YASNO website, in the “Power Outage Schedule” section, you can check information for the address 36E Yevhena Konovaltsia Street.
- Our outage queue is 2.1.
2. Safety Inside the Building
- Do not use elevators during possible or scheduled outages.
- Do not leave electrical appliances turned on: stove, hairdryer, iron, electric kettle, air fryer, etc.
- Do not place objects, dishes, or food on electrical appliances, even when they are turned off. Once the power returns, appliances may restart automatically—this can be dangerous.
3. Prepare Your Devices and Essentials
- fully charge your power bank, phone, laptop, tablet, and headphones
- download movies, series, or cartoons in advance
- charge your e-reader
- prepare a headlamp or a small battery-powered lamp
4. Plan Activities Near barasport city apartments
Many cafés, restaurants, and pubs within walking distance operate using generators or battery stations—an excellent option if you want to stay comfortable during a blackout.
