Answer by Wave2012
Dacha is a summer house, summer cottage, small (or big if people are rich) cottage outside the city in a countryside.
Nothing more.
Buy a land, build house or plant garden and visit every weekend. It is a dacha.
There are MILLIONS dachas in Russia around every city and town. As well as hundred thousands around Moscow.
They usually don’t have anythign around except small shop because people come outside Moscow to rest, vspend time on fresh air without being disturbed by city life. That is why it cannot be nice place for a lonely foreigner who doesn’t speak Russian. I belive your friend is pretty silly that she suggested you to live outside city. You will not be able to walk in the evening on Moscow streets, will not have any cafes to eat and just to speng good time as tourists supposed to spend time. I would advice you to book a hotel.
