Room was clean. Although the bed was very firm, pillows were very thin and the no control over the heating meant we were extremely hot.

Excellent apartment, clean and cozy with all utensils available. The location is perfect for those who want to be close to the train station, shops, restaurants and the old town. The property is fully equipped, with a kitchen, laundry room and other common areas. You'll feel right at home.
BOB W. Is the place to stay when visiting Helsinki!!!
Besides the great location, the facilities are really awesome.
For sure will look for BOB W on the next trip!!!
