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 a 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 sustainable, local design led 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 superheroes are here for you day and night to make sure you have a 5-star stay. Welcome to Bob’s world!

Bob W is the smartest alternative to hotels and random rentals. Get everything needed to live, work and play for as long as you want. Fully equipped kitchenettes, keyless access, fast WiFi, smart TVs, local gym access, 24/7 support, regular professional cleaning – you name it. Stay in Kaartinkaupunki, the hustle-and-bustle hood of Helsinki, just off the very central area of town. You’ll be surrounded by original-designed interiors and local, sustainable art-crafts. Every night is climate-neutral and fully carbon offset.

If you want to be at the heart of the action, Kaartinkaupunki is the neighbourhood for you. Home to the historic Old Market Hall and vibey Kauppatori Market Square you’ll find some uber cool, local options for coffee, drinks and food right on your doorstep. At the centre of the community, you’ll find the iconic Esplanadi Park. In the summer they put on live music - perfect for a picnic (or pint!) and in winter it transforms into a wonderland the likes of which even Santa himself would approve!
 History buffs shouldn't miss The Old Barracks or the neighbourhood fire station (which even features in the local emblem). Want some culture? The Design Museum explores Finland’s design heritage or the Rikhardinkatu Library is a treat for both literature enthusiasts and architecture admirers alike.
 Head to the waterfront to grab a boat tour around the Gulf of Finland. There’s nothing quite like the fresh perspective you get of a city from the water. For those looking to incite souvenir envy, Korkeavuorenkatu Street's quirky boutiques and secondhand shops are the spot to find something unique that’ll have people asking “where did you get that?”.
Bob always saves the best until last. Once the home of Moomin creator Tove Jansson, a visit to the Moomin store is a must! Historic Kaartinkaupunki is the perfect example of ‘the best of both worlds’ - bringing together the perfect fusion of creativity and culture. So dive in, get inspired and thank Bob later.
