Aivan ihana kohde mielettömän upealla sijainnilla. Tilava ja kaunis asunto, hyvä walk-in vaatehuone, viimeistelty sisustus ja reilun kokoinen sauna. Naapurissa kahvila ja leipomo, josta saa suussa sulavan aamiaisen. Vierailen varmasti uudelleenkin 😊

The accommodation was wonderful – clean, fresh-smelling, and nothing was missing. It was a great experience. The only thing I would point out is that the bed in the bedroom is 160 cm wide, which is not very comfortable for taller guests. 160 cm bed in bedroom

My sister and I were visiting Finland for a week from the US and stayed at Juho’s place. Such a beautiful home in a historic location next to a wonderful restaurant and brewery. Very comfortable and close to the Aura River with lots of restaurants and walking paths. He was a fantastic host and provided lots of recommendations for local attractions and places to eat. Five+ stars on this one. The home is so well-appointed and even has its own sauna. Very comfortable beds and lots of space. Would love to stay again if we ever make it back to Helsinki!
