Rental unit in Kamppi
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 202 reviews⭐️ Neat&peaceful 6th flr, 150m to metro, fast WiFi⭐️
I spent almost 2 weeks at Matti's place, and I had a wonderful time. The apartment is simple, cozy, and comfortable. It had everything I needed, including a washing machine. Matti's place made for a quiet spot to work when I needed to. Helsinki is quite walkable, and the apartment is well-located and central. So, it's even easier to explore Helsinki and still have an accessible place to rest or take a break from your day. Check-in was easy with very complete instructions sent ahead of my stay. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay!

I had a great stay. Didn’t spend a lot of time indoors, as there is a decent amount to do in Helsinki, but when I was inside it was a nice and comfortable place to relax. Cesar is very responsive and allowed me to drop off my bag prior to the checkin time, which was quite nice.
