Design Studio, Vallila Helsinki

Seniori-ikäisenä arvostaa erityisesti mahdollisuutta nukkua hyvin. Nukuimme mieheni kanssa erinomaisesti, kiitos hyvän sängyn ja hiljaisuuden. Tosin oli juhannus ja viereinen katu oli suljettu tietöiden vuoksi. Sijainti oli sopiva, kävelymatka rautatieasemalle, messukeskukseen ja Linnanmäelle. Kauppa ihan lähellä ja erinomainen pizzeria (Mäkelän Kulma). Pidimme iltakävelyistä alueella, pieniä puistoja, puutaloja ja vanhaa tehdasmiljöötä. Asunnossa oli kaikki tarvittava ja se oli erinomaisen siisti.

We had a good time here. Check-in was incredibly smooth and picking up the keys was very easy. The apartment is small but beautifully renovated, exceptionally clean, and features a very comfortable bed with soft bedsheets and nice big towels. The hosts have thought of good extras, like board games, basic spices, a vacuum cleaner, and even a steam iron. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but the heated floors are fantastic—even though the floor gets wet during a shower, it dries remarkably fast! As a bonus, there is a Chinese restaurant downstairs where we picked up dinner twice; the food was absolutely delicious with very generous portions. Highly recommend for a few days' stay!

A few small improvements would easily make this a 10/10 stay: Kitchen essentials: It would be great to have oven mitts, a kitchen towel, and a trivet/hot pad for pans. We baked a pizza and had to use a small hand towel to take it out and set it down. Power outlets: Adding an extension cord by the bed would be amazing so guests can charge phones on both sides, not just one. Bedside lighting: The small battery-operated lamp didn't work. It might be better to replace it with a simple plug-in reading lamp (not a problem for summer, but helpful for winter!). TV description: The listing mentions Netflix, but it's just the app—you need your own account to log in. It would be helpful to clarify this in the description. Building note: There was a very strong, unpleasant odor in the main building hallway, though fortunately, the apartment itself smelled completely fine and clean. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Ihanan siisti, kodikas, kaikki tarpeellinen oli! Myös hiljainen, vaikka ikkuna Mäkelänkadulle.

Rappukäytävä oli todella tunkkaisen ja pahanhajuinen, mutta onneksi asuntoon päästyä sai huokaista helpotuksesta 😊

Clean, very simple studio. A place to rest your head. Bed was comfortable. Tram stop outside which takes you to the city centre.

Basic facilities. One chair at the table which was strange if you’re a couple. Random pillows. Random bedding. Lacked facilities eg. no bottle opener, a coffee machine with no pods, random items everywhere in the cupboard. No structure to it. Showering meant wetting the whole bathroom floor and toilet. Odd setup in the bathroom and the water was not very hot.
