Hello!

First of all, Happy new year to everybody. I麓m new here. I麓m going to live in Helsinki for 5 months and I am looking for a shared apartment in the center or near the center (few min. walking). Could anyone give some information about the accomodation? I mean,is it difficult to find? is it expensive? I wouldn麓t like to spend more than 400 euros, is this possible?
Thank you so much.

Hola Uriona!! Me llamo Bel,bien...no s茅 por donde empezar,como diria un buen amigo mio,por el principio Bel!por el principio.
Ver谩s estoy interesada en la compra de una casa de madera y me han hablado muy bien de las casas de Finlandia.EL problema que tengo es que apenas hablo ingl茅s y quisiera contactar con empreasas de Finlandia que se dediquen a exportar a Espa帽a.Dado que aqui hay muchas empresas que dicen que su madera es de Finlandia,pero despues resuta ser que son de los paises del este(maderas mas blandas y sin respetar el medio ambiente).Te pido disculpas si mi mensaje te resulta demasiado atrevido.
Recibe un cordial saludo desde Barcelona
