Hanskalan Nature Reserve

The studio is a perfect size for a solo stay — cozy, comfortable, and equipped with a small kitchen, ideal for preparing a warm homemade meal on cooler days. Just a heads-up: the iron and hairdryer are kept in shared storage, so you’ll need to self-service them when needed. The location is excellent, with easy access to daily groceries, Prisma, and nearby metro and bus stations, all within a short walking distance. A bonus for Marimekko fans — there’s a store nearby offering great prices too! Check-in and check-out were easy and hassle-free. I really like that it’s more of a self-service stay without much hotel-style staffing — personally, I adore this kind of setup. It makes the whole experience feel calm, private, and effortless.😊

Nice amenities, like washer/dryer and dishwasher. The sauna was amazing (once we figured out how to turn it on). The apartment was clean. Public transport very close, as well as a coffeehouse across the street. What was a bit confusing was the way the lighting worked, hard to find the right settings, and looking at the worn state of some switches, we weren’t the first to struggle.

Excellent stay! Bob responded immediately and access was so easy. Everything great and so central and close to train and everything you need. Walk to water was really close.
