Mariankatu, Lahti

There is hardly a more central location to live in Lahti, as from the windows of this top-floor 46-square-meter one-bedroom apartment you can see Lahti's Tori, the bustling and absolute center of the city, yet you still maintain your own peace, as Mariankatu is a quieter street and the floor is up and trees effectively cover noise. Services, shops, and transport links are right next door, and Lahti's best school Yhteiskoulu is just around the corner. In addition, the city's monumental Risti Church is right next to it, as well as Kirkkopuisto, and Lahti's gift to sports, Kisapuisto, is also quite close. And you can get quite effortlessly farther away even by bus. The apartment itself is in a respected and well-maintained housing company (of which I am also on the board). The apartment is quiet, bright, and there are no major renovations upcoming, as for example, the pipe renovation was done in 2006, at which time the toilet was also renovated (perhaps the choice of wall tiles could have been more modern/better enduring time), but otherwise, it's a very pleasant and medium-sized toilet. Additionally, the toilet includes a washing machine because the space requires a specially sized washing machine, so the standard 60cm wide ones won't fit. The windows have blinds, and there are rails for curtains on the ceiling. The rooms are separated by double doors, and some old features have been preserved to bring sharpness and personality (a teak cool cupboard in the living room and solid wood cabinets in the bedroom). The kitchenette is small but functional, separated by a door, and equipped with a narrow 45cm dishwasher, full-sized oven and hob, and fridge-freezer. The apartment is not barrier-free (there are two steps at the stairway entrance). The rent includes DNA internet. Water according to usage, and the electricity and rental agreements are to be made by the tenant themselves. No pets (except maybe a goldfish and some spiders can come) and definitely no smoking, not even on the balcony because smoke clings everywhere and is hard to get rid of. One downside is the parking spaces, as the yard is small and cramped, and you have to queue for the housing company's parking space for 2-3 years. Of course, there is street parking available in the city, and there is a large parking hall next door, which apparently is rented by the Lahti parish union, but I'm not quite sure. About the pictures; the pictures have been taken at slightly different times, with different lighting, and some have different furniture, which may be a bit confusing. I tried to build a logical progression from the front door, through the toilet to the first room, from which to the second room, and finally pictures of the kitchenette (which is equipped with a door and in the corner of the first room), but of course it's always better to see in person if it feels like it could be your future home. Rental without the Qasa service.
