Sense of fun

a bed with pillows and a chair in a room

Kaarti, the heart of Helsinki

Kaartinkaupunki is where Helsinki shows off its refined side — without losing its sense of fun. One minute you’re strolling past grand old garrison buildings and leafy Esplanadi Park, the next you’re sipping an award-winning cocktail or browsing a quirky secondhand shop on Korkeavuorenkatu. Come summer, the park’s bandstand fills the air with music and the streets buzz with café chatter. In winter, fairy lights and fresh snow turn the neighbourhood into a picture perfect postcard. It’s a place for art lovers, architecture buffs, boutique hunters, and anyone who likes their city break with a side of seaside breeze.

The "extra mile" is our baseline

    How to check-in?

    Step 1: Complete Your Online Check-In
    Head to our secure check-in portal here: https://reception.bobw.co/check-in

    You can do this any time before arriving, no need to wait for check-in day. This helps us get everything ready for your stay.



    Find your booking number
    You’ll need this to check in online. It’s usually in your confirmation email from wherever you booked (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.). Look for terms like:

    “Booking/confirmation number”

    “Booking ID”

    “Reservation number”

    Can’t find it? Check your spam folder—emails love to hide there sometimes 😉



    Get your door code
    Once your check-in is complete, your unique door code will pop up on the evening before check-in day in the Guest Area under "Open Doors". That’s how you’ll access your apartment—no keys needed!



    Do I need to add my credit card to the check-in form?

    Didn’t get a confirmation email?
    Double-check that your email and phone number are correct.

    We always send your check-in info by email—and often via SMS or WhatsApp too. Still nothing? Just reach out and we’ll sort it 👍

    Whilst Staying

    Please read Bob's house rules carefully. If you break them, you will be charged a fine and/or your booking will be terminated – and no one wants that!
    Respect your neighbours. You're sharing the building with other guests and residents. Be aware of your noise levels and keep things tidy. Quiet hours are 10 pm - 8 am daily.

    No parties or any events that might disturb other guests. We know, parties are fun, but people need their rest too.

    Shoes off inside. Not only does this reduce noise for your neighbours, but it also keeps the apartment clean and in good shape.

    No smoking, even on balconies. Please use marked outdoor smoking areas.

    No drugs or use of any illegal substances. If we find a reason to believe this is happening during or after your stay, you will be reported to the local authorities and that’d be a major bummer.

    No rubbish in the hallways. Please check your apartment for instructions on how to deal with rubbish and recycling.

    Respect our cleaners. Although each apartment is thoroughly cleaned after check-out, please pick up after yourself and use common sense when leaving. If you leave a big mess that takes extra time to clean up, you’ll be charged.

    Keep to your check-in and check-out times. Your last-minute schedule changes impact our cleaners and other guests.

    Report any possible damage you see in the apartment during your stay so Bob can fix it.
