Cozy two room apartment near Helsinki

We have a cozy apartment (59 square meters) in a suburb of Vantaa, only 13km from the center of Helsinki, the capital city of Finland. This apartment is in the second floor of 5 storey building.

Our apartment has one bedroom (large bed for two) and we have an extra sofa bed in the living room for two persons if necessary. The apartment is recently renovated so, for example, the kitchen and the bathroom are quite new. There's a lift in the building.

The apartment is just 600 meters from the nearest railway station. The train trip to Helsinki city center takes about 18 minutes and there are also many bus connections around the capital area. It is possible to go to Helsinki-Vantaa airport by train in 16 minutes. The public transportation is excellent and we have two bikes, so your own car is not necessary.

There are many shops (a shopping center), some restaurants and other services nearby within a walking distance. There are also really nice parks and forests around here where you can go walking or running. Nearest frisbee golf route is just 2,5 km from the apartment, as well as the nearest swimming place (a pond).

Helsinki is the biggest city of Finland but you can easily visit other cities and sights in Finland with a rental car or by public transportation. If you decide to come to live in our home we will provide you with a great variety of different brochures and recommendations about what to do and see around here.

You are warmly welcome to spend time in our home!
