Luotsi 1911 Suite

A good basic accomodation. 10 minutes walk from the waterfront. On the ground floor

No microwave

This cozy apartment on the old, charming street was just what we needed for our stay in Helsinki. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Te location is fantastic. You can walk around the picturesque Katajanokka island or to the city center from here. Tram routes T6 and T7 will take you to the railway station. The Viking Line ferry terminal is on this island too. Kiitos, Arttu, for your hospitality! We would love to come back!

Nice, clean flat in great location ! Very easy access to centre, trams, boats and nice walks. A great spot for exploring Helsinki !

Exactly as advertised but it’s a relatively small flat, we were 3 adults though.

The property was clean and warm, even though there were -6 degrees C outside. It's close to the city centre (a few minutes walk away), very close to the supermarket and the tram stop, which is a very convenient way to travel anywhere in Helsinki, so location-wise it's perfect. It was also easy to find, the instructions to get the keys were very explicit, so we didn't have issues even though we arrived at 1AM. The host replied to all our questions and messages in a timely manner as well. Another thing I liked was the smart TV in the living room - although it's positioned in a weird place (I'd replace the painting on the wall with the TV and vice-versa). I liked that it had YouTube, Netflix and so on.

The apartment itself is a bit cramped. Three people can sleep comfortably in the bedroom's bed and the sofa bed in the living room, but the bathroom is very small. What we didn't like about the bathroom was that there was no separate place for the shower, only a curtain, so if you took a shower, the whole bathroom would get wet and you'd have to wipe it down. I think a shower floor divider should be installed so that water doesn't go everywhere. Other than that, though, the apartment has most things someone would need for a short stay, and is convenient.

No breakfast, location is good if arriving by Viking line.

A big space but without laundry machine, it’s not convenient for a long stay.
