Apartment in Oulu

Best location in central Oulu 2 h + s

MarionRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We spent four weeks in Sirkkus very comfortable apartment and felt quite at home. The location is great to explore Oulu and also close to nature walks. Since it was winter, we were able to see Polar lights in small parks about five to ten minutes away. We definitely plan to visit again!

Studio by nature, close to downtown + Parkki

TanjaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The apartment itself was cozy and clean, and the host was very friendly. The only downside is the noise of the environment, especially at night, which is not properly melted by such a country. Otherwise, the area is beautiful and the building itself is peaceful.

Iisland Uoma Lovely waterfront cabin and sauna

SinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

A great cottage for nature lovers! The house is located in quiet surroundings right by the water and has a great outdoor area (sauna house, outdoor barbecue area with large terrace, teepee). Inside, it is a bit outdated, but still has sufficient amenities and charm. The kitchen is very well equipped, ideal for self-catering. Due to the location on a small island, you need a car, but you get absolute peace and quiet.

Sunin Tupa - Hiker Marmeladi

JatinRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cabin! It was the perfect cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The cabin was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. We especially loved the sauna and the private area outside where we could enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. The host was very responsive and provided clear instructions for our stay. The location was ideal, just a short drive from Oulu but still in a peaceful and natural setting. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the Finnish countryside.
