Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Helsinki offers a variety of attractions from museums and design shops to seaside pool, the Suomenlinna island fortress and amusement park Linnanmäki. We are also a short distance away from the seaside beaches of Espoo with lovely cafes and a waterbus operating in the summer. It is a great location for exploring the capital region and the archipelago. In the winter, you obviously have opportunities for skiing and skating!
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are respectful guests and expect the same from people who come to our place. :-) We are happy when people enjoy our house, respecting the neighbors and the furnishings. No smoking inside the house. We will guide you to use the sauna and the fireplace. We have two guinea pigs who optionally can go to pet care elsewhere. The plants are quite easy to take care of and there is a possibility to explore the use of our hybrid car.
