Hello,
It depends on a season.
Hotels in Saint-Petersburg become more expensive. So homestays are much cheaper in summer.
it wasn't exactly a home stay but I rented an apartment for two nights, for cheaper than a hotel and you have a kitchen to make your own food - which is cheaper still.
I agree with Brendan, it is really so!
