What are the good features of the property and location

Tampere is famous for its lakes, waterfronts, and surrounding nature, making it easy to enjoy walking, swimming, and outdoor activities all year round. It’s a lively yet safe city with a strong cultural scene, including museums, theatres, events, and the scenic Tammerkoski river running through the centre. It is also often highlighted in Finnish surveys as one of the most popular choices for weekend trips.

The flat is a three-bed room flat in a central, well-connected area within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and the railway station, with excellent public transport links nearby. You do not need a car in this location. It is easy to travel to for example Helsinki by train for a day trip, as well as reach both Tampere and Helsinki airports by public transport.

You should be confident and experienced in caring for cats. Reliability is essential. Respect for the home is naturally important (including keeping the flat clean, secure, and well looked after). Good communication is expected, including regular updates while I am away.
Please note: It is not permitted to bring additional guests to stay in the flat beyond those agreed in advance.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
