"Expat homes and apartments in Finland tend to be modern and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and a neutral colour palette. Many apartments come with a balcony or terrace, and some even have access to a sauna. Expats can expect to find all the necessary amenities, such as a washing machine, dishwasher, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Most apartments also come with a parking space, and some even have access to a gym or swimming pool. Expats can also expect to find plenty of storage space, as well as a good selection of furniture and appliances," said a member in Finland.
