2ndhomes Deluxe 1BR Kamppi Center Apartment with Sauna and Terrace Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into 2ndhomes Deluxe 1BR Kamppi Center Apartment with Sauna and Terrace, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what sounded like a corporate-named property. But you know what? This four-star apartment completely changed my mind within minutes. The space feels more like a friend’s incredibly well-designed place than a typical hotel — there’s this immediate sense of being home, but a much cooler version of home than most of us actually have.

Location Magic

The location is actually ridiculous in the best way possible. You’re right on Fredrikinkatu in Kamppi, which means Helsinki‘s best stuff is literally outside your door. I mean, I could walk to the central railway station in about five minutes, and all those trendy cafes and shops along Esplanadi were just a short stroll away. What really struck me was how couples seem to get this — they consistently rate the location around 9.0, and after spending time here, I totally understand why. There’s something romantic about having the city’s pulse right there but still feeling tucked away in your own private space.

The Space Itself

The room setup is honestly perfect for how people actually want to travel these days. You’ve got a proper one-bedroom layout with a full kitchen — not some sad kitchenette, but actual cooking space if you want to grab ingredients from the nearby market halls. The terrace became my morning coffee spot, and honestly, having that outdoor space in the middle of the city felt like a small miracle. But here’s the real winner: the private sauna. After walking around Helsinki all day, slipping into your own sauna feels incredibly indulgent without being over the top.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that actually matters — they have private parking available, which in central Helsinki is basically like finding gold. Most places in this area, you’re stuck circling blocks looking for street parking or paying through the nose for public garages. The whole setup just works better than typical hotel arrangements. You can actually live a bit while you’re visiting, rather than just sleeping somewhere between tourist activities.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps coming back to me about this place is how it strikes this balance between being in the absolute heart of everything while giving you space to breathe. The 9.7 location score isn’t just marketing fluff — you really can walk to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go in Helsinki from here. But unlike staying right on the main tourist strips, you get to retreat to this calm, well-designed space that feels distinctly yours. It’s the kind of place that makes you think about planning a longer trip next time, just because you know you’d be comfortable settling in for a while.
