Nearness to the city center. Clean house. Nice note from owner about places to visit and where to eat.
The bed. I couldn't sleep on the bed because it was too close to the roof. I slept on the sofa downstairs 😩 I had to creep on and off the bed.
Sijainti ja asiakaspalvelu olivat hyviä.
Pyyhkeet ja sohva olivat kuluneet ja keittiötarvikkeita niukasti.
Pulito, ordinato
Poche stoviglie, molto caldo il soppalco
Here's the translation: Good location in the city center. There are 2 good supermarkets nearby. Parking was easy to find. Key handover was contactless. The apartment has a TV, kettle, coffee maker, basic kitchenware, a dishwasher, a hairdryer, shampoo, and shower gel.
The bed linen was clean, but not ironed. There were only 2 towels: one very small hand towel and one larger one for the shower (even though I was traveling alone, it was definitely not enough for 5 days, especially considering there was no washing machine in the apartment).
I loved quiet neighborhood. Perfect location.
No iron. Sleeping area was too tight. Only one pot was provided. Towel needs to be replaced with the new one. Dirty rug. One light bulb did't work. Tv doesn't work.
Este antro" por llamarlo de alguna manera, nada tiene que ver con la realidad de las fotos mostradas aqui, me pareció deplorable como poco, peligroso por la situación de la cama arriba, de autentico zulo !, y muy peligroso por la situacion de la cama justo donde termina una esquina pegada a la cara, que en cualquier momento levantando un palmo la cabeza te puedes dar con la esquina en la cara o cabeza provocando un accidente grave, ademas de tener el techo a escasos dos palmos en su zona mas alta, y la escalera para acceder a ella es el mismo mueble de la tele que hace las veces de escalera!!....las fotos muy probablemente retocadas digitalmente nada tienen que ver con el aspecto real de esa pocilga, viejo y sucio. la situacion de encontrar la llave ademas....fue de autentica locura escondidas vete tu a saber donde en una caja que ni se veia al final de una calle larga.....de autentico video juego para acceder a encontrarlas.....No puedo entender como algo asi se permite en esta pagina, una autentica basura y fatal experiencia que arruina con creces cualquier viaje
Unica cosa positiva la posizione, ma questo non serve se soggiorni in una struttura pericolosa
Le foto e la descrizione non rispecchiano la realtà! Allego immagini per farvi capire. Premetto che ho viaggiato molto e non mi era mai capitato di scrivere una recensione così negativa per una struttura. Il letto si trova su un soppalco bassissimo, senza finestre: lo spazio tra materasso e soffitto è talmente ridotto da dare una forte sensazione di claustrofobia. Sopra la testa c’è anche la luce di emergenza, accesa tutta la notte, quindi impossibile riposare bene. La protezione laterale del letto è talmente bassa che si rischia seriamente di cadere durante il sonno. Le “scale” per accedere al soppalco non sono vere scale, ma mobili instabili con una ringhiera poco sicura: molto pericolose. Abbiamo dovuto dormire sul pavimento e lasciare l’appartamento prima del previsto, pagando un altro alloggio. Alla nostra segnalazione, la struttura ha risposto in modo scortese e senza offrire alcuna soluzione o rimborso. Un’esperienza pessima: struttura pericolosa, scomoda e gestita male. Non prenotate, rischiate di perdere soldi e di rovinare il vostro soggiorno.
Check In / Out and communication with the host was good. The location is close to the beach and well connected to public transport
The apartment looks so much nicer on the pictures than it really is. It's really tiny and all the furniture and equipment is cheap. The worst is the "bed" about 40 cms under the ceiling. No space to move and it gets very hot in summer. The bathroom is also really small with just a plastic curtain so everything gets wet when you shower.
Die Lage war super. Zentrum, Hafen und Küste sind fußläufig erreichbar. Ein angenehmes Haus mit freundlichen Nachbarn.
Die Unterkunft ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Geschirrspüler wirkt fast antik-habe mich nicht getraut ihn zu benutzen. Die Schranktüren hängen schief. Und- das Hochbett ist extrem dicht unter der Decke- im Bett sitzen unmöglich… Ein ‘refreshment’ der Einrichtung würde dem Ganzen gut tun!
Mukava kämppä sopivan lähellä keskustaa. Viihtyisää aluetta. Tulisin uudelleen.
Cute and small apartment with all we needed. Easy access.
The location of the apartment is great. Near supermarket and close to public transport. We used the electric scooters a lot, which can be found close to the apartment. It is quiet and tidy in the building and there is an elevator (apartment is on the 5th floor). Self check-inn and communication with host is good.
Despite air conditioning being listed among the facilities, there is no air conditioning in the apartment. Therefor we had to sleep with the windows open (with noise and light from outside), because it gets stuffy in the attic where the bed is. The stairs to the bed and the bed itself are only suitable for fit and brave people. You can’t sit upright in the bed. The kitchen facilities are basic (for example, only one pot and one pan and no colander).
Location was good, elevator.
Apartment really small, bathroom very small and the bed is located on a mezzanine. You have to crawl in and crawl out and about 20cm between your head and the ceiling. 2 people would never fit.
Very good located apartment, clean and good equiped.
A little bit too small for me
Excellent location Easy access to town centre Good facilities in apartment Good amenities locally
The mezzanine sleeping area feels a little cramped.
Nice place
Very cute apartment. The host was helpful.
Very nice location and a cute little studio!
Nice clean space to spent a few days in Helsinki, close to supermarkets and public transport. Overall comfortable, but I would recommend it for a short stay
Sleeping area felt reduced in space, but I was aware of it when I booked
