Upstairs: A fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living room, and a quiet office space.
Downstairs: Three comfortable bedrooms (sleeps 4 adults), a bathroom, and a relaxing electric sauna.
Enjoy a private backyard – perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding.

Day Trips to Estonia & Sweden are a must. Make the most of your stay with easy ferry trips to Tallinn and Stockholm from Helsinki harbor – perfect for a quick international adventure!

Getting Around is Easy. While we don’t offer a car, Helsinki’s public transport system (HSL) is top-notch.

Use buses, trams, trains, metro, and ferries with tourist-friendly tickets. Car rentals are available at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport or the Central Railway Station.

We warmly welcome you to experience Finnish hospitality, nature, and culture – all from the comfort of our home.
