2ndhomes Beautiful, 2BR Attic Apartment in Kruununhaka Overview

First Impressions

When I first climbed up to 2ndhomes Beautiful, 2BR Attic Apartment in Kruununhaka, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from an attic space. But you know what? This four-star apartment completely changed my mind about slanted ceilings and cozy corners. The moment you step inside, there’s this warm, lived-in feeling that makes you forget you’re staying in a rental — it actually feels like you’re borrowing a friend’s really nice place in Helsinki.

The Space Itself

The two-bedroom layout works brilliantly, especially if you’re traveling with another couple or need some space to spread out. I mean, the attic design gives each room its own character — some have those charming sloped walls that make you feel like you’re in a Scandinavian fairy tale. The living area flows naturally into a well-equipped kitchen where you can actually cook a proper meal, not just heat up instant noodles. There’s something satisfying about making coffee in the morning while looking out at the Helsinki rooftops.

Location Magic

Here’s where this place really shines — Kruununhaka is one of those neighborhoods that locals love but tourists often miss. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Senate Square and the harbor, but tucked away on Meritullinkatu where it’s quiet enough to actually sleep. I discovered some fantastic little cafes just by wandering around the corner, and the morning walk to the market square became part of my daily routine. Couples seem to get this location particularly well — there’s something romantic about strolling these historic streets together.

The Helsinki Experience

What I really appreciated was how this apartment lets you live like a local rather than just visit Helsinki. You can grab groceries from the nearby shops, cook dinner while planning your next day’s adventures, and actually have space to relax between all the sightseeing. The neighborhood has this perfect mix of historic charm and modern convenience — you’ll find yourself walking past 19th-century buildings to reach contemporary design shops and cozy wine bars. It’s the kind of setup where you start planning your return visit before you’ve even left.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.4 location rating honestly makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. You’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the tourist crowds to feel like you’ve found something special. The attic setting might sound cramped, but it’s actually quite spacious and gives the whole place character that you just don’t get in standard hotel rooms. Plus, having two bedrooms and a proper kitchen means you can travel with friends or family without feeling like you’re living on top of each other — and that’s worth a lot when you’re exploring a city like Helsinki.
