We stayed here for a concert in Olympiastadium a d the location was ideal. There is a tram stop across the street which made getting around the city very easy. The apartment was basic but very clean and was perfect for a group as we could all stay together.

It's a basic but super cute accommodation. I liked it! It had everything you might need - kettle, microwave, desk, even a TV. Very clean. Comfy bed. Decent bathroom. Easy check-in, the no reception thing is kind of nice. I like this system! The location is good, short walk from train station in Helsinki. Good for an overnight stay or a budget trip!
