Rooms for rent in Finland

In Finland, almost every family home has a sauna and selected in coworking and coliving spaces with a sauna would not be an unusual requirement here. It might get very dark in the winter months but the locals are very welcoming and squeeze a lot of joy out of the long summer nights around the summer solstice when Helsinki turns into a party capital.
