Flat and summer cottage in Helsinki, Finland
For New Year 2019 we wish for an exchange to Canary Islands or Southern Spain.
For winter holidays 2019 in Febryary we are looking for an exchange also.
See also www.lonelyplanet.com > Finland.
Our home has 85 m2 which includes big kitchen, a large bedroom with a double bed (160cm x 200 cm), a kind of tv-hall, two rooms and two toilets, one of them with shower & steam sauna. There are also two sofas, which are very cosy to sleep at, and two extra beds for one person each.We have a so called steam sauna, which is very nice in every season.
Our home is very safe and quiet. It is warm in winter and nice and cool in summer. There is a big backyard, which is common with our neighbours, including a little playgrond for children, and a place to relax and barbecue, or slide in wintertime. Free Wi-Fi. Dvd, tv. Washing machine and dryer. Dishwasher. Coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave, big fridge, big freezer, electric oven and electric cooking plates. District heating.
Our tiny summer cottage very near us is also available: you can fully enjoy the clean nature by the sea, singing birds and light scandinavian summer there, and it is situated only 2 kilometres (10 min by bike, 5 minutes by car, 30 minutes walking) from our flat. If you are a nature lover, other seasons are great there also. Also the center of Helsinki is very near: only 4 minutes by metro, and 5 minutes walk to metro station. Or you may walk to the center in 35 minutes.
Serena, the biggest water park in Scandinavia, is 15 km from us (www.serena.fi). See also: www.visithelsinki.fi.
We are a non-smoking family, and we wish you do not smoke inside either.
Our pet rabbit needs to be taken care of: play with her, and feed her twice a day. But we can give her to our relatives if you do not fancy to take care at your holiday, that is ok.
Our car is Renault Megane Break and you may use it during the exchange.

SWEDISH
Vår lilla kille går i språkbadet. Målet med det är att barnen ska förstå och tala svenska. Därför skulle det vara nödvändig att resa i Sverige. Och vi hans föräldrar skulle gärna lära mer svenska.
