We chose this apartment because the last check in time went up to 23.30 and we had a late arriving flight. Instructions to find the key safe, which is around 20 metres from the main gate, were sent via pictures in a flip book which were hard to follow on a smartphone screen in the rain, dark and freezing conditions. We couldn’t locate the keybox for 20 minutes and when we rang - before 23.30, we got a text message back that the owner couldn’t speak and had to get up at 5am! They did send other messages but we only saw them after we eventually found the key. If the instructions sent to us initially with the flip book URL had also given us some more info in text form rather than pictures, eg explained that the apartment entrance is the one on the right, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time. We couldn’t get the apartment cold enough although the host kindly sent photos of all the thermostats but noise from the pile driver in the building works opposite meant we had to keep the windows shut. Mattress a bit on the soft side for me (although my husband liked it) and only one pillow each. White leatherette sofa and plastic plants didn’t really give a cosy feel (but clean and tidy). Check out instructions included being told to take out the rubbish which seemed a bit much given the price.

A modern, clean apartment with all mod cons. Loved the sauna, heated toilet seat and towel rail, well equipped kitchen and generous space. Great location for exploring Helsinki.

No hairdryer! TV in Russian with no direction on changing language though wasn't a major problem as we weren't planning on watching it anyways

Good apartment, fabulous sauna and it was excellent to have coffee machine and some breakfast things left for us.

There was a high-pitched noise coming from the air conditioner in the bedroom.

There was plenty of space. The apartment style had a very classy feel, coffee machine helped(although the Cafe amore nearby is great too), and the sauna was great. Oh, and I really appreciated how organised the kitchen was. I could live there.

The sauna, the view, the area, the everything.

The sauna is hot enough for me but it's not hot enough for my friend.

Great location. Quiet and comfortable place to relax. Clear instructions and easy to check in. Well equipped kitchen. Clean and bright enough. Good to people who love to cook. The living room is very big and comfortable.

I only had an issue as info about the property was sent to me on a flip book and as I had a problems accessing any data at all (and had to phone my service provider in the end to help) I could open the flip book to find out how to access property do waited outside in the cold rather worried. The son came and gave us the key after 5-10 mins. I would say to message people the basic info on how to get in, in addition to the flip book in future, preferably a bit earlier on. To save worry!

Great location to travel around the city. Tram stop couldn’t be closer with trans every 10 mins. Beautiful comfortable apartment. Nice and warm Great shower, large etc.

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

The apartment was exceptional ! Really high end finished perfectly and had everything that we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped and had all the additions in the cupboards if we wanted to cook. The bath also had mood lighting as well as fully lit, which was surprisingly so nice, and the whole place just had a really good energy. It was easy to be in peace, and the location was so good. It's in a really upmarket area and the view of the ocean was beautiful. The hosts are super friendly but give you absolute privacy. Will be coming back to stay here! We will never forget our trip.

That we couldn't stay longer ;-)

Everything was perfect. The host's son met us, to show us where to park and show us to the apartment. Really spacious, clean apartment with all amenities at hand plus extra. The private sauna was superb and one of our 3 nights in Helsinki, we stayed in the apartment just to enjoy the facilities, with some food and wine. On site parking and good communication also made it a great, stress-free few days in the city.

Nothing 😀

Many holiday flat owners claim their apartments as "deluxe", but quite often they are not. This one though, luckily, is a real luxurious one! The flat located next to the very posh part of the city at the Baltic Sea. The view from the big balcony is wonderful. The Balcony has glass shields, so you can enjoy relaxing time even if the sea wind is very strong. The interior and equipment are all in excellent condition. The Kitchen is very well equipped. Instead of old, cheap, and heavy used things, you'll find nice design products from Finland, e.g. coffee sets are of Arabia, a very famous manufacturer in Finland. The private sauna, built in the bathroom, is simply superb! If you come to Helsinki with your own car, you'd love the spacious underground garage. The owner is so friendly and gave us lot of recommendations for restaurants and groceries. If you have questions, just text him, he's always there. We'll book this flat again if we are in Helsinki!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Comfortable, well laid out and in a great location. The host is thoughtful and attentive, replying quickly to questions. Plenty of information was given to us before arriving. I would highly recommend this apartment.

We liked everything.

Everything was perfect, really hard to notice any flaws. We enjoyed our terrace and sauna. Sauna can be heated up very well. We went there for my birthday and had a wonderful time. Location is very nice, even though it might be a bit further away from main attractions of Helsinki, it's easily reachable by public transport. It's also so calm and quiet in the neighborhood, it feels very close to the nature. We saw a rabbit nearby.

The smell in the bathroom after the sauna was not so pleasant, but owner is informed and he promised that he will take care of it. Other than that - everything was perfect.

Everything was super good - Modern flat with Sauna, Smart TV, parking and amazing lounge!

Very nice and modern apartment close to city center. There is everything you need for a short or long stay. The kitchen is fully equiped, also a lot of spices available, coffee, tea. Communication with Ilgis was great and he was available for chat at any time if we had any questions. Very clear instructions were sent about check in and how to travel around Helsinki. :) Also hints about coffee shops or restaurants around. I would definetly recommend the place if you visit Helsinki.

The mattress was perhaps a bit too soft, but it was still comfortable.

We spent 4 nights with a small-sized dog at Ilgis' apartment. It is well-maintained and equipped with everything you may need for a comfortable stay. Location is also great as tram stop is only a few steps away. Ilgis was a very caring host, providing clear instructions and all the necessary information during our stay. We will definitely choose to stay here next time we visit Helsinki!

Stayed in February 2023

For a longer stay: 1) two sets of towels would be good while waiting for the other set from the washing machine; 2) a small drying track for small laundry would be also welcome.

This spacious, high-quality apartment with a sauna and nice terrace is truly exceptional in all terms, including easy check-in even after midnight (!), clear instructions, a friendly, informative host, cleanliness, and quality of equipment and furniture - almost everything was there that one could need in a household. The environment is quiet, easy to take a tram or walk to the city centrum or along the seaside around Helsinki city with cafes (e.g. Egberg, Fazer, Ursula), restaurants (e.g. Saaga) and Fittness24Seven gym nearby. We happily enjoyed our stay during our Helsinki visit in this beautiful and well-equipped apartment - we felt warmly welcome. Thank you so much Iglis - we can only highly recommend this apartment for a solo traveller, couples or small family.

Really nothing to complain about.

Everything was just super. Ilgis is an extraordinary host who takes care of you the whole time at least by phone. The apartment is amazing and so far best what we had. Whenever we go to Helsinki again, we cannot go anywhere else. Only highest recommendation from us. Thank you, Ilgis!!

Spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with a terrace and a private sauna. For your use and disposal you have everything one might need for a short or a long stay - starting with an iron and washing machine gel, finishing with spice cabinet, condiments, coffee, tea and oatmeal. Host Ilgis has even thought of having ice in the fridge and an umbrella. Ilgis was always available to answer questions and help with directions. One of the best properties I have stayed at in a long time. Highly recommended!

Excellent place, very comfortable. Location near the beautiful Eira district, on the bay. Great communication with host. I highly recomend this appartment. Thank you Ilgis!

Stayed in September 2022

Too few dishes, since it‘s not worth to use a dish washing machine for just 2 plates,

Very well sized, clean, nice sauna easy to operate. Tram connection to city is needed, but tram station is right there ( if you need a ticket machine, go to the next station at the sea, which is also nearby). Instructions to find the kind of difficult way was very detailled, so it worked out well.

Stayed in June 2023

I honestly cannot think of anything I didn’t enjoy. Simply a first class property and stay.

I can’t say enough about my fabulous stay here! It was absolutely perfect in every way. It was sparkling clean, new, spacious, modern with every possible amenity. There was a closed in balcony with a view of the sea, a sauna inside the apartment, all TV channels w Netflix. I could walk to restaurants, shopping, and to the centrum. Tram/bus stop only hundreds of feet away. Excellent communication and assistance with my questions. Provided helpful suggestions for restaurants, shopping without me asking. I can’t wait to come back again!!
