Lovely studio in central Helsinki
This was such a lovely apartment beautifully decorated and well equipped with skincare products and kitchen tools, which made my stay very comfortable and fulfilling. It’s the kind of place that makes you fall even more in love with Helsinki. Thank you so much! I’d love to stay here again if I visit in the future.

* Courtyard fresh cozy apt. terraces outdoor*
This place is truly a gem. It has all the warm touches of a real home, so charming and comfortable. And Mervi was so great to meet us there and show us around. Our favorite parts were the courtyard for catching some sun and tea outside, well stocked kitchen, heated floor in the bathroom, list could go on… also if you are into walking, this is totally walkable to the water, restaurants, saunas, and design district. Accessible by public transit. We would definitely come back next time.

Spacious Elegance @Tehtaankatu
Lovely light and airy space that was a joy to be in. Had everything we needed and, being on the courtyard side, was very quiet even tho the tram stop was right outside. Useful local foodshops and alko store close by and would recommend the Seahorse restaurant just down the way. We were here in a pretty warm sunny May and would love to come back and see what it’s all like in the snow!

Stylish 57m2 apartment (free parking available)
Lovely and spacious apartment in beautiful Lauttasaari, the sea is just nearby. The house was really quiet and the environment was otherwise peaceful. Good place for a family. Getting around by bus and subway was really easy.

Luxurious loft with a private sauna and balcony
Great place! Felt very much at home and enjoyed the privacy of the apartment (and of course the sauna). Sini was very responsive and friendly! Were pleasantly surprised by a V60 (coffee filter) being in the apartment. Thanks and see you soon!

Scandi-Chic Flat in Design District | Nflx&Disney+
Fantastic location close to multiple restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and public transportation! We spent 5 days here and never felt uncomfortable. Communication was professional and quick, and check-in was easy despite some cell signal issues on my end. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Central Skyroom | Sauna, Views & Family-Friendly
Ollie’s condo is beautifully presented. It’s a short walk to light rail and metro and a 15 minute walk to the water. The sauna is great! We loved staying in the heart of Helsinki. It’s a beautiful city and Olli’s place is the perfect base to explore.

1 bedroom - central Helsinki
I absolutely loved my stay in this apartment. From the first moment, I felt completely at home – everything was so cozy, beautifully furnished, and full of charm. I could really relax and enjoy my time in Helsinki thanks to the calm atmosphere and all the thoughtful details. It was the perfect base for my trip, and I genuinely looked forward to coming back “home” every day. I’m really grateful for the experience and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
