Apartment is nice and comfy. Had everything we needed and more. Everthing was very very clean. Petteri is the good soul of the apartment and helped us so much to find the right activities during our stay and spots to see aurora lights. He managed the booking of a husky sled tour which was wonderful, we did a snowmobile tour with him, he even texted us the newest aurora borealis forecasts. Thank you so so much! Near the apartment there is a lake from where you can see the aurora lights. You can do a little midnight walk on your own. This was magical.

From the time we booked, communication with Petteri was spot on. He was very quick to respond to any queries and helped us book excursions at a much more reasonable price than other touristy areas of Lapland. He even provided us with free breakfast on the first day and showed us the nearby places to go. We opted for airport pick up and we were received by Petteri and he should us around Ivalo village and even stopped at the shopping mart so that we could pickup supplies. The wilderness starts from just behind the apartment and you feel close to nature. You have options to rent snowmobile, sleds, snow shoes from Petteri himself. We will always remember Apartment Neitamo 44.

L’appartamento è dotato di ogni comfort. In bagno: asciugamani, asciugacapelli, shampoo, bagnoschiuma e lavatrice! In cucina: stoviglie, microonde, bollitore e tutti gli accessori necessari per cucinare! Camera comoda e accogliente! Tutto pulitissimo e nuovissimo! Petteri è una persona squisita! Simpatico e disponibile in ogni momento! Ci ha consigliato bene su tutto! Noi avevamo noleggiato la macchina. Non so la frequenza degli autobus, ma sicuramente con un mezzo si e’ piu’liberi per ogni spostamento (che d’inverno con -15 non guasta!!)!! Tutto stupendo!

The host of Aparment is a kind and warm hearted host who gave us many advice and help with our trip here. We can't imagine how we can "survive" in such a cold weather without Petteri's boots and gloves. The apartment is amazing and tasted decorations. You can quickly get yourself warmed ginger inside the apartment after the outside activities. He provided us the first breakfast matetials but believe me there're a lot more than just breakfast! We will definitely come back again in the future and recommend it to our friends!

We had a great time at Petteri's Apartment. We stayed four nights beginning of January 2020. It's a new apartment, very cosy, warm and has everything what you might need. Even floor heating in the bathroom. It's located in a quiet part of Ivalo, close to a lake. To our surprise when we arrived there was a big breakfast for the next morning waiting for us (eggs bread, meat, cheese, porridge, fruits). Petteri was always very responsive and kept us posted on the Aurora activities, even in the middle of the night. He organised a husky safari for us, we had an amazing time and can recommend it to everyone. The husky were super excited and keen to get out and we enjoyed to be the musher for a couple of hours. We highly recommend to stay at Petteri's when your in Ivalo/Lapland. We hope to be back one day!

A wonderful experience for a first-time trip to Lapland. Petteri is a very welcoming and thoughtful host, who made sure that we had everything we needed, and was extremely responsive both before our arrival and during our stay. He helped us book a husky safar, sent us updates on aurora forecasts, and did his best to hunt them down for us at a time of very low solar activity. The cottage is fully equipped, cozy, quiet, and you can go for a walk in the wilderness straight from the backyard. We did not rent a car but got by perfectly well without one, as Petteri was able to take us to and from the airport, and we walked to Ivalo whenever we needed to buy groceries or wanted to go out to eat. Highly recommended.

We loved every second of our stay at Petteri’s apartment. It was conveniently located close to a lake where we got to see the Aurora Borealis, 3 nights in a row. It was such a great tip, we had the place to ourselves most of the time! Petteri’s apartment has everything you need and more. We felt right at home, it was so cozy. It’s equipped with all the things you need and Petteri makes sure you feel comfortable. There was even a breakfast waiting for us. We will definitely book it again if a journey takes us back to Ivalo.

Muy bien ubicado. La estancia fue mejor de lo esperado. El apartamento es pequeño pero muy bien equipado con todo lo necesario. Ideal para parejas. Zona tranquila y silenciosa junto al bosque. Numerosas actividades al aire libre. El anfitrión nos ayudó con nuestras dudas (sobre todo en la búsqueda de Auroras Boreales) y estuvo disponible durante la estancia. Al llegar de noche, tuvimos el detalle del desayuno incluido a la mañana siguiente. Detalle a destacar. 100% recomendable. Volveremos sin duda.
Pikou, Switzerland
Endroit calme et très joli quartier. Bien situé près d'un lac, super pour les aurores boréales, c'est également proche d'une forêt, parfait pour les balades. Accueil chaleureux, emplacement idéal entre inari et Saariselkä. Petteri est un hôte très sympas et très attentionné :)
Dani, Espana
Todo absolutamente perfecto. Petteri es un excelentísimo anfitrión. Desde una semana antes de nuestra llegada ya nos empezó a ofrecer actividades y cosas para hacer. La casa está totalmente equipada y Petteri siempre atento y dispuesto a ayudar. Posiblemente sea el mejor sitio en el que hemos estado y seguro en el que mejor nos han atendido.
Claudia, UK
The property was perfect for two people, and Petteri was the best host! He has thought of so many small touches to make the stay even better and went out of his way to ensure we got to see the Auroras, and took some incredible photos for us. We were even able to see them in the back garden - AMAZING! It is also a short drive from the airport, and short walk from the town, bus stop, and from a beautiful lake, another good aurora watching spot.
Anja, Germany
Sehr gemütliches kleines Appartement, ausgestattet, mit allem, was man braucht. Direkt am Wald gelegen und dadurch herrlich ruhig und erholsam. Petteri ist ein perfekter Gastgeber, freundlich, herzlich und steht mit tollen Tipps und selbst durchgeführten Aurora Borealis Trips immer zur Verfügung. Sogar der Kühlschrank war mit vielen Leckereien für unser erstes Frühstück gefüllt. Wir können die Unterkunft absolut und ohne Einschränkung empfehlen. Kiiitää!
Catherine, Switzerland
Excellent accueil, l'hôte a pensé à plein de détails très utiles. Fond de cuisine prêt et gratuit. Premier petit déjeuner préparé et gratuit. L'hôte nous informe des activités (notepad avec appli à disposition !). Déco très chaleureuse et cosy, accès direct à la nature et aux ballades.

Proprietaire très accessible tant en amont que sur place. Pitteri nous ecrivait chaque soir pour nous dire si on pouvait esperer voir des aurores boreales. Il vous propose un classeur avec toutes les activites environnantes ainsi qu une tablette avec les applications des activites. L appartement est idealement situé puisque nous avons vu des aurores boréales au dessus de notre appartement et il est egalement possible de voir des rênnes.

숙소를 이용하는 동안 불편함 없이 아주 편하게 이용할 수 있어서 너무나도 좋았습니다! 버스정류장에서 거리는 조금 되지만 가까운 곳에 마트도 있어 장보는 것도 편했고 근처에 사우나 시설도 있어 엑티비티를 즐긴 후에 몸을 풀 수 있기까지 해서 마음에 들었습니다. 제일 마음에 들었던 것은 걸어서 10분?15분거리에 호수가 있는데 겨울 밤에는 그 위에서 오로라도 볼수있어 그점이 가장 기억에 남네요! 숙소는 사진과 같이 깔끔했구요 손님에 따라 침대 사이즈도 변경할 수 있어서 편했습니다. 또한 손님들 이용에 불편함이 없게 여러가지를 물어봐주시면서 많은 배려도 해주셨고 처음 가보는 곳인 만큼 이동이나 활동을 즐기기에 어려움이 있을줄 알았는데 이리저리 많은 도움을 주시려고 하셔서 편안하게 머무르다가 갈 수 있었습니다.
Kathryn, Germany
I felt like I was staying at a five-star resort with the best customer service anyone could ask for. Petteri booked our tours for us, he recommended where to eat and what to do during our days (and we did them all and would recommend them all to others), he constantly texted and called when the auroras were out. It was amazing! We saw the auroras every single night in the backyard! There’s also a wide lake close to the house where you could get amazing views of the auroras. It’s the perfect place to stay. The apartment is brand new and spotless with comfortable beds. I would stay here over the fancy hotels any day.
Jules, France
We had a lovely stay at Petteri's, we wish we could have stayed longer! Petteri is such an amazing host, very genuine and is ready to go the extra miles to make the stay of his guests a great experience. Thanks to him we were able to see the Northern lights twice (we were chasing them in his car at 11pm!). Petteri is full of good tips. He is only here when you need him and leave you all your space the rest of the time. Finally, the flat is independent from the rest of the house, has all amenities, and has nothing to envy to a nice hotel. We would truly recommend this place and this host! Thanks again Petteri.
Andy, Singapore
Awesome place and awesome host. Petteri has been very accommodating and we had an awesome time there. Location is great, place is clean and functional. Highly recommended! Photos didn't do Petteri's place any justice. The real place is much more beautiful!
Monica, France
Una scelta praticamente perfetta che consigliamo a chiunque. La casa è ben organizzata con arredamento di gusto e particolarmente pulita, ci si sente a casa propria. Ottima base per attività all’aperto essendo letteralmente ad un passo dal bosco e vicina ad uno splendido lago, raggiungibile anche a piedi (10/15 minuti di passeggiata), dal quale di notte siamo riusciti a vedere una meravigliosa aurora con l’impressione di essere a mille miglia da tutto ciò che possa ricordare un uomo. Mr. Petteri è un ottimo ospite che sa essere presente, specialmente nel momento del bisogno, senza mai risultare invadente. In ogni occasione si è rivelato disponibile e molto attrezzato per ogni evenienza. Durante il nostro soggiorno abbiamo provato sia un’escursione organizzata da un fotografo per cacciare l’aurora che un’escursione in motoslitta con Petteri...beh! Non c’è stato paragone sotto ogni punto di vista...organizzazione, comunicabilità e conoscenze. Affidatevi a lui per l’organizzazione poiché oltre al supporto umano può noleggiare anche attrezzature per il freddo (tute termiche, scarpe ecc). Insomma nel nostro soggiorno non abbiamo trovato neanche un punto negativo. A chi sceglie questa casa auguriamo un buon viaggio...e portate i nostri saluti a Mr. Petteri.

Petteri’s Apartment is so nice, there is all that you need. The house is beautiful, is near to the airport of Ivalo (10 minutes by car) but also a good choice for seeing the northern lights and doing a lot of walks near the house. There is a beautiful lake where you can walk when the water is frozen during winter time. Petteri is the perfect host, always available for everything. He drove us twice to catch the northern lights and took very nice pictures of us! Thank you very much for the beautiful experience in Lapland!!
Tanja, Germany
If you want the perfect "All inklusive experience" combined with the privacy of an Airbnb, this is the place! Petteri did everything to make our stay perfect. He answerd a million of my questions 🤣 before booking, he organized our Airport Pickup and all activities. He even welcomed us with stuff for the first breakfast. He constantly checked out all weather forcasts and Aurora forcasts and informed us on Time. He booked fantastic activities for us - snowmobile drive, Husky sledding, feeding the reindeers, a traditional dinner and fantastic Aurora Hunting. the hours with Petteri on the frozen lake under the stars and the northern lights were so amazing! The Apartment is very cozy and everything you need is there. It was perfectly clean and Petteri was available everytime if we needed something. Even late in the evening he stayed connected with us and reminded us to drive carfully as there was a lot of new snow. We have never felt so "cared for" in an airbnb before, thank you Petteri
