Great Location
What could be improved: –Sara from Finland – 24 April 2022 (9/10)
Location was better than I expected, I didn't realize it was so close to old town market square.
Check in worked great, owner was waiting for us outside when we arrived. Apartment was nicely renovated and the house was very quiet, soundproof was good.
Also the door that leads downstairs stops all the noise from upstairs.. Very quiet area.
Sauna also worked nicely and was easy to use.
What could be improved: Sadly a neighbour had almost burned down the whole house so the entrance hall smelled really bad because of the smoke and some of the smell got to the apartment also. But that was just unlucky situation.
Apartment had an espresso maker, us Finns do like our filtered coffee so a "normal" coffee maker could be a nice bonus if there are many Finnish visitors. Also kitchen could do with a pair on scissors 🙂 but these are very small minuses.Anonymous from Ukraine – 24 October 2022 (10/10)
The location, the interior, the lay out. Very comfortable – clearly a place to return to!
Mika from Finland – 6 November 2022 (10/10)
Siisti ja tilava. Rauhallinen alue, mutta silti todella lähellä kaikkea.
Jaana from Finland – 12 October 2022 (10/10)
Loistava huoneisto loistavalla sijainnilla vanhassa kaupungissa. Helppo majoittua laukkujen kanssa koska huoneisto on pohjakerroksessa. Kaunis ja siisti huoneisto 10+.
Serhii from Ukraine – 10 October 2022 (9/10)
Месторасположение в самом центре
