Privyet! long time, no speak, I know.

What is the best way to say "furnished with ___"? I'm guessing it's something with творительный падеж, but does the expression need a preposition?

Also, do furnished apartments exist in Russia, or is that another slice of American craziness?

Thanks for your help!

меблирован/меблированный чем-либо?
but I think it will be better to say just меблирован/меблированный, depends on the context...
yes, furnished apartments definitely exist in Rusiia

ok, that makes sense.
How would you say, "A kitchen with a sink, refridgerator, and stove" since those (at least in English), aren't quite furniture?

На кухне имеются раковина, холодильник и газовая птита.

I just reserved a furnished apartment in Russia to rent next year, so I'l sencond the "they exist" statement.

Furnished apartments definitely exist. But while "furnished apartment" would be "меблированная квартира", "furnished with smth." is usually said "обставленный(ая) чем-либо".

обставленный чем-либо, оборудованный чем-либо

1) снаряженный, оборудованный, экипированный; образованный, информированный, подготовленный richly furnished intellect — разносторонне образованный ум
2) меблированный furnished rooms — меблированные комнаты furnished house — дом с мебелью, с обстановкой

E.g.
I rented a furnished apartment - Я снял меблированную квартиру.
The apartment is furnished with imported furniture - Квартира обставлена импортной мебелью.

In fact most appartments for rent are furnished
I've rented a few places though this agency http://www.incom.ru/
Unlike many others, they don't take any fee for the actual search, but as all the other agencies I've been in touch with they will take a commission of 100% of the monthly rent directly upon signature of the contract.

Most apts that you can rent in Russia are furnished.

Any kitchen in Russia has a sink, it comes with the brand new apartment, as well as a toilet, a bathtub, and a stove (either gas or electric.) Refrigerator is another story, the tenant is expected to have one of his own. No new apatments (be that in municipal -- city-owned -- or privately built houses) come furnished, and none of them have a fridge, you have to buy one yourself (as well as the furniture.) If you subrent an apartment from somebody else, that's another story; a subrented apartment is, most likely, furnished, including a fridge.

There is a legal difference between rent and subrent. If you subrent them, then they are furnished. Anyway, a foreigner would subrent an apartment in 100 per cent cases, since the direct rent from the city is only possible for the locals.
