Room was super clean and has all the necessary amenities! a few meters from Helsinki central station. not having an actual reception was not an issue because their staff were very responsive via WhatsApp. would definitely recommend!

Company information

Bob is the mythical globetrotter who calls nowhere home but is at ease anywhere. After travelling around the world from Chicago to Kathmandu and everywhere in between, Bob has developed refined taste when it comes to accommodation. His holy grail are places that blend the consistent quality of a hotel with the authentic flair and affordability of a host’s home. The problem is that these types of places are almost impossible to find. That’s why he decided to create his own category of exceptionally cool short-stay apartments that combine the best of both worlds. When you sleep with Bob, you always know what to expect: an awesome location in a handpicked neighbourhood, interiors created by local designers, and a commitment to sustainability. Although Bob is usually away trekking up a glacier or hitchhiking across a continent, his team of professional hospitality superheros is here for you day and night to make sure you have a 5-star stay. Welcome to Bob’s world!

Get everything needed to live, work and play for as long as you want. Fully equipped kitchens, private saunas, balconies, laundry, keyless access, fast WiFi, local gym access, 24/7 support, and regular professional cleaning – you name it.

Neighbourhood information

If you want to be in the heart of the city and within walking distance to a huge number of Helsinki’s attractions and other neighbourhoods, then this location is perfect for you. Our City Centre building is located in the heart of Helsinki’s central business district and lively downtown. The building is situated on the corner of the Helsinki Central Railway Square, a hub of train, bus, metro, and tram routes from which you can conveniently get anywhere in the city (or Finland, for that matter). From here, you can get to other neighbourhoods like Punavuori design district and Kallio on foot as well. This is where old and new brush shoulders, where highbrow refinement and simple pleasures converge.
