Personal comments
my roommates and me were very lucky with our accomodation: rent was quite cheap for helsinki and the apartment was bigger than the others. although we had to use the metro to get into the centre, the "travelling time" was not too bad (about 20 minutes) and it was made up through the beautiful landscape we lived in (near the forest and the sea).
