Welcome to our home in Espoo, 20 minutes to Helsinki, close to sea and nature!
Our home is located near the seaside in a quiet and green residential area in Espoo, the second largest city in Finland. It's a neighbouring city to Helsinki, so staying in our home will give you a great opportunity to visit the sights there. It takes just a few minutes to walk to the metro station.
There are a couple of beaches nearby (1-1,5 km from the house) as well as seaside trails for taking a stroll or jogging. A huge shopping center with supermarkets, library, restaurants and other stores is just 800 metres from the house. There are also parks and many playgrounds for kids in the proximity of the house.
Our home is a 2-storey apartment (82 sqm) with an open plan kitchen and living room and a toilet downstairs, and two bedrooms as well as a bathroom with sauna upstairs. In one bedroom you'll find a double bed and in the other bedroom two loft beds (90cm x 200 cm) We have a terrace with chairs and a table.

In the winter you will find many opportunities for cross-country and downhill skiing in Espoo and the surroundings.
