But in Moscow it's probably an apartment. One of those squalid sparely furnished places you see in the movies. Considered nice by Russian standards.

bungalow
[buhng-guh-loh]
noun
a cottage of one story.
(in India) a one-storied thatched or tiled house, usually surrounded by a veranda.
(in the U.S.) a derivation of the Indian house type, popular especially during the first quarter of the 20th century, usually having one and a half stories, a widely bracketed gable roof, and a multi-windowed dormer and frequently built of rustic materials.
