This apartment was a great place to stay for a visit to enjoy Helsinki. Just about everything noteworthy in Helsinki is within walking distance. A great restaurant, a supermarket, an R Kioski, and a pharmacy are within a five-minute walk. Two tram lines (streetcars) and a bus line are on a street one minute away. The surrounding Design District is fascinating.The central railroad station and the Kamppi transport hub can be walked to in 15 minutes, or a tram line will take you to and from. The place was quiet and private. We felt at ease at all times. There is always a little foot traffic on the street--it felt like a vibrant but peaceful neighborhood.Large windows let in pleasant light from the southeast. The heat was abundant and easy to control.Kitchen and bathroom had modern fixtures and everything worked well. Heated towel rack! Wi-Fi was excellent. Our mobile-phones worked fine with good signal strength.This is not a glamorous, shiny place but it is very clean and properly stocked with kitchen tools and basic supplies. Comfortable and easy-going would describe the ambience of the apartment, its building, and its neighborhood.For the two of us this was just about the ideal lodging for our Helsinki stay. We would return.
