We did not feel welcome when we arrived we were told by her mother that it was not the right place. It was the neighbour who told me I had the right place. It was when I showed the picture of the room to her mother and called her by her name she invited us in. Very little communication and help on our first day in country. We felt we were imposing

A great house and friendly welcome - the only downside was a very uncomfortable bed. Maarit was very helpful both before and after booking, staying in contact although she was not there. There was a bit of confusion upon our arrival and we ended up being given a different room from the one we had booked, with a sofa bed rather than the real bed we expected. This was a shame as it was difficult to get a proper night's on that bed. Other positives, we were made to feel welcome by Maarit's parents and Hamidu and the possibility to use the sauna in the house was very welcome at the end of a long day! The house and area are beautiful and it's fairly easy to get to the city centre.

One of Helsinki@ iconic waterside houses on a private island. A special experience . Only 10 minutes to tram terminus direct to centre, and a good cafe. Very comfortable and wow ! indoor pool and sauna for the real Finnish experience Great welcome and Maarit friendly and helpful host-her family too.

Staying with Maarit and her family was very pleasant. Maarit was always open to question and could give us some tips for our city trip to Helsinki even. The room was described as in the picture, but it looks bigger in the photo. Also, you need a strong back, the mattress is very thin and therefore unfortunately somewhat hard. The house is in a wonderful location by Maarits Directions can be found but no problems there. Thanks to Maarit and her family.

We have a greatful time living in their beautiful house,and also like to get together with Maarit's family in Christmas season.The place is very suitable for one who want a quite and peaceful room to live.You can also discover that the surrounded environment is picturesque and good for walking.I recommend Maarit's house very much!

Location is ok, not that far from public transport connections.The views from the accommodation are nice, You can see the sea from a few rooms. The host is friendly and welcoming, she lives in the building with family members. The age of the building begins to show, and therefore some things like light bulbs would need repair/changing. The bedrooms are in the upper floor, and the staircase has a handrail. The house would need thorough cleaning and dusting. The check-out was very flexible. Considering the obvious need of thorough cleaning of the I honestly think the the price per night is not in line with the condition of the accommodation

HOW wonderful、fabulous memories in Maarit house,which is easy to find,whatever transportation you choosed,bus or tram.I REALLY love the beautiful view outside this house,the lakes、the peaceful paths、this season!!!! and most important, warmly welcomed from Maarit and her family !!!! Recommend it to everyone.

We spent one week at Maarit's parents and had a really good time, though it was a little bit difficult to communicate sometimes as only her dad speaks English. We first stayed in the room with seaview, but unfortunately there was a wasps nest right outside the window and we found some of the animals inside even. Maarit took care of this matter really quickly though and we could move into the other guest room next to the bathroom which was free at the time. Also, we had an issue with the key once but Maarit was very kind and always helpful. The place is really big, it was nice to use the sauna and the pool and also there are plenty of good spots for fishing around the house which was great fun.

Lena was very friendly and made me feel very welcome. Her home is spacious and clean. It really has everything one could need. There was also a list of shops en cafe's in the neighborhood, where you can have lunch or a coffee. It was two minutes walking to the tramstop, three minutes to the sea. Lot's of parks close by. Nice to walk or cycle.

Lena's flat was wonderfully clean and tidy. The location was perfect for our purpose since the aim of this visit was to visit relations living close by. Getting into town centre was very convenient, since the tram departed from just around the corner. This flat is a perfect choice for those wanting to see Helsinki, but to still spend their nights in a peaceful and safe neighbourhood.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lena's apartment! The interior design is great - a classic meets modern scandi in a very relaxing and soothing way. You immeduately feel as you already have lived here – all things are exactly where you expect them to be, which is so helpful when you are in someone else's place. The apartment is situated in a vety green and quiet part of the city, close to the sea so we felt more like in the country, besides it is just 20 minutes from the center.

A perfect place to stay: nice, cozy and feels like home. I wish we could have stayed for a couple more days. The neighbourhood is quiet and reveals calm side of Helsinki but still it is pretty close to the downtown. Seaside and Seurasaari are a special bonus. Lena was very welcoming and helpful meeting us.

Wonderful flat, in a fantastic neighbourhood near the sea. The area is very quiet, the furniture in the appartement are all chosen with great taste. Lena has been an amazing host, giving all the required information, taking care that everything would work properly. She was very flexible concerning the meeting times, and prepared everything with much care and precision in order to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Everything was spotless, I would love to stay there again!

We found the flat to be pretty much ideal. A little bit out of the centre but not too far and in a leafy residential area next to the sea and a good cafe. A tram into town takes around 15 minutes and they run on a regular basis. The flat was very nice: clean, tidy, nicely furnished. We would recommend it to anyone. At night it was quiet and during the day there was a relaxing atmosphere.

One of our software developers used this apartment. It is very large and could easily fit more persons. The location suited our purposes well. Everything went very well with Lena and we can warmly recommend this apartment and this host. The fridge had even some food that was free to use.

The accommodation was fantastic. The apartment was incredibly soothing and stylish furnishings and low in an amazingly cozy area. It was only a few steps away from the tram stop and a short walk to the water. Our host had written out everything we could think of having to face our Helsinki stay, tram times, restaurants & cafes nearby, ATMs, etc. Highly recommend this accommodation!

The apartment is very nice in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The apartment is bright and cozy. With public transport nearby it is is easy to get to downtown. If you like walking that is also possible. Juho is a very nice chap and it was easy to afree upon things with him. I highly recommend the place.

Taina arranged to meet us outside. She has a beautiful, welcoming smile, and we were surprised at the amount of lovely food she invited us to partake of. On the dining table were slices of blueberry pie she had made ( delicious), and in the freezer were home made buns and breads. I understand the apartment used to belong to her mother, and it has the feeling of staying at a much loved grandmother's or aunties home, with beautiful crockery and cutlery from previous era. The bathroom is renovated, the beds comfortable, the apartment spotless. It wad easy to find by taking the number 4 tram, getting off at Meilahden Sairaala stop, walking in the same direction as the tram it is the third street on the right. The only downside was it didn't have wifi, going in later this year, but it didn't matter as there was some at a nearby cafe and instead we checked out Finnish tv and had a much needed early night.

One of our software developers used this apartment. It is quite large and could easily fit more persons. The location suited our purposes well. Everything went very well with Taina and we can warmly recommend this apartment and this host. She had even baked a welcome treat for our guy. The fridge and freeze were full of food that were free to use. Quite extraordinary according to my experience. Very nice.

We spent three weeks in this place. Everything was just perfect. I felt practically at home - had everything what is necessary and nothing unnecessary. Thank you Taina!

Our time in Helsinki at Tainas place was wonderful! Taina is a lovely person and she always made an effort to help. You can always contact her if there are any problems. The best part is that there were finnish pastries and fresh bread in the fridge which was delicious. The apartment was lovely too. Everything was clean and there is everything you wish for. When we were in the apartment the building was under construction which was not really disturbing for us. All in all the Tainas place is perfect for exploring Helsinki and I would really recommend it!

Everything was perfect as last time

Taina is a wonderful hoster! Her flat is big, clean, very cute and quite. Taina gave as a free parking place, so it's very helpful, cause we traveled by car. In the fridge there was a delicious bread and bakery also as many other beverages, sauces, fruits and vegetables! I highly recommend Taina's flat as a lovely place to stay in Helsinki!

Absolutely wonderful hostess and appartement located in a calm yet central area. Freezer and fridge was stuffed with all you could ever want. Am looking forward to another stay should the opportunity arise.

Tania greeted us like we were his family. Very warm, caring, curious, she put us at ease and made us feel immediately "at home". She had prepared such excellent bread and cake for our arrival. The apartment was very clean (nice bathroom), comfortable, soothing and rather spacious. The neighborhood is quiet, residential. The center of Helsinki is a ten minute tram apartment. If I were to return to Helsinki, I would not hesitate to return to Taina! Taina again thank you for this wonderful welcome!

Pirkko offers a nice, two-room apartment with a great location: 10 minutes by tram to the city center, 2 minutes to the grocery store, 5 minutes to the forest. Great experience!

Was wonderful that we were able to stay in Pirkko's home during our time in Helsinki. Pirkko was great at communicating and making sure we have all the information we neede. Very comfortable peaceful apartment.

Pirkko and her daughter were very nice hosts. Easy communication, good location, quiet apartment. I felt just like home!

Apartment is well located! Line 10 is just 3mins of walking. Clean and large! Pirkko provied everthing that I was gonna needed. Voin suositella muillekin!

The communication has been very good and easy. The area is very safe and the flat is central and good to reach by tram. The only thing I have to complain about is the condition of the flat. The bathroom and the kitchen has been very dirty, so that we had to clean and disinfect the flat to feel comfortable.

A Little bit far But nice apartment

Almost like at home but even better. Nice and comfortable place. Tram stations are in 1 and 4 minutes. Also the citybike station is near the building, also 24h supermarket is in 2 tram stops from there. Pirkko is very good in communication so it was quite simple to find the appartmrnts and check-in (my flight was a bit late and delayed)

Nice and cozy apartment, good communication with the host. Excellent location!

Very tidy and nice home and Kati was helpful and a good host. Located in a nice neighborhood.

we booked the apartment spontaneous, and became fast feedback with information to find the destination. we had troubles with the map, and came later than we think befor- thx for waiting! the apartment is close to the center and theres everything you need. thx lina, and a good time.

Everything went very smoothly and I had a great stay at Lina's apartment!

Very peaceful, comfortable and nice apartment. The appartment is located just s few meters from Kuusitie, so that it is super easy to go both to Espoo and to Helsinki city centre using public transportation. I've got the keys on time and I felt ar home all the time.

Housing was just like in the description and figures are given to understand. Really neat, elegant and comfortable. The apartment is easily accessible, and is also close to a grocery store. with Iina was easy to communicate with, and nothing remained unclear in advance. He also put messages between the stay and checked that everything was ok, which I thought was really nice and thoughtful.

Pros -spacious apartment and quiet bedroom -very convenient location. Public transportations are downstairs Cons- Host was unreachable until the last night. It turned out the switch to the livingroom light was hidden in the upper closet and she didn't think it's important to tell me. I emailed her the first day. Even if she's sick as she claimed, she should have asked her friend who checked me in to tell me such important matter. - Siemens oven is too high tech. Since she didn't tell me how to use it, I didn't know how to use it at all.

The place is clean and tidy. Very soacious and modern. It is very convenient to get on train and bus to different places, in particular, the city centre.

Zanyar was a good host . He advised before how to access to his apartment. He was very nice and genteman. Good location. Good public transportation. Aparment was clean and looked just like in pictures :)

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Good location and great host, recommend to everyone.

A basic apartment that is pretty near to the city center, very convenient as it's just right in front of the tram station, and convenient store right around the corner. Wifi seems to be limited to only 3 gadgets at most, but it's also because we have a lot of gadgets (it's two of us). House is clean, you have everything u need including kitchen utensils Would pick here again when I'm coming back .

The apartment is small but very comfortable and it has everything you need. Nice surroundings and transport connection to the center. Thanks for the hospitality!

Nice and cozy place perfect to travel with your partner. Well located in Helsinki and chill area. I really recommend this studio, and I'd like to come again!

home essential. Ideal for short stays. Improve the level of cleanliness.

In general, all consistent with the description. Zanyar very punctual and friendly host. We got him on the move in precise instructions. The area is nice, the center 20 minutes walk or a few stops on any transport. The house has Alepo store is open from 6:00 to 24:00.
