The main two advantages of using Airbnb are the fact that you get to meet local people and that you can generally find cheaper accommodation than at the average hotel. Both these things are important in Helsinki, as this is a place where housing tends to be rather expensive. If you find it difficult to research for suitable accommodation, check out the best Airbnbs in Helsinki, Finland below.


We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 01, 2024.

1. Cozy studio in the Design District (from USD 65)

Staying in this cozy studio amid the Design District will allow you to make the most of your time on vacation in the city. Not only will you be surrounded by design shops, but you will also have a wide variety of options for decent restaurants just around the corner. Even though you are in a vibrant area, you won’t be bothered by the sounds of the city since the window of your room faces into a peaceful courtyard.

You are welcome to spend some time unwinding in the sauna below in the building, which guests can book for private use on Friday evenings. Spend a relaxing time inside the unit by watching a movie on the 32-inch high-definition TV with Chromecast or reading one of the books provided.

Ann Travel Finland (Anna Siukola)

<p>Hi, my name is Ann, and I offer author’s Helsinki and Southern Finland tours in English to individual travelers, families, friend groups, and large groups. My style is educative and entertaining, so you will have a lot of facts presented in an easy, fun, and friendly manner. I am knowledgeable in various fields, but my tours are not boring history lessons. Instead, we will have a lively narrative and discussion, and I promise you will WANT to know more! I conduct all sorts of tours: sightseeing-, thematic-, tailored-for-your-interests, customized tours; walking and biking tours, and tours with the use of public and private transport. You name it! Whatever you select, I can assure you that you will have great memories when you are back home!</p><p>18 years ago, I moved from one beautiful city to another – from St. Petersburg to Helsinki. Back in St. Petersburg, I worked as a tourist guide, and following my passion for this profession, I studied for and received the authorized tourist guiding diploma in Helsinki as well. Through these years, my knowledge of modern life in Finland, the language, people’s mentality, traditions, culture, etc. has naturally deepened. All curiosities which make up Finnish culture, have become part of me, and Finland has become my dear, beloved home. As an international person living in Finland myself and having an international family (at home, we speak English, Finnish, and Russian), I would like to offer you a tour where I am going to tell you about Helsinki, its history and traditions, its modern vibe and the international diversity of it before and today. What is the place of Finland in this fast-changing world? Let’s talk about it, and compare it to your home country if you will.</p><p>My customers love the way I connect historical facts about Finland and the neighboring country - Russia. Having been an authorized St. Petersburg guide as well, I always find it fascinating to bring up some historical connections. Well, well… Finland was part of Tsarist Russia for a century, so there are loads of connections here. Now, due to the current situation, people don’t travel to St. Petersburg, but many, from my experience, are interested to know about the current state of affairs out there. Through my tours, you can get a touch of it too. Just IF you want.</p><p>My other occupation is a multidisciplinary artist, which is why on my tours I love to point out architectural details and all the man-made beauty of Helsinki. As a person who is very passionate about history, art, architecture, and overall – beauty around us and a person who loves to share her knowledge and inspiration, I also love to meet other cultures and exchange our knowledge about this beautiful and diverse world. So, come to have fun with me on my tour and get a touch of the old and modern sides of the atmospheric Helsinki city!</p><p>Contact me and let&#39;s plan your visit to Helsinki together!</p>

The beauty of Helsinki and its special vibe

There is something special about Helsinki - the sea, the green areas, the wooden houses, they all give Helsinki a special vibe. Walking around residential areas with wooden houses is a very relaxing activity, and so is having a picnic with a seaside view. And while you’re planning the picnic, don’t forget to get some of the tasty traditional Finnish pastries. The city center can get rather crowded, making it a good spot for people-watching. Helsinki is for sure a place worth visiting. Make the most of your trip with one of these Airbnbs in Helsinki. Try exploring nearby attractions and check out some of the best day trips from the city too!
