Interested in the whole area of Sunila. It was a pleasure to enjoy the accommodation and the decor. By the way, we also explored the area. It's worth visiting the beach and the manager's flat!
Sunila Apartment Eero
The "Eero" flat uniquely combines interior design from the "Space Age" and icons of Finnish design, without forgetting comfort.
The flat "Eero" is located on the middle floor of the terrace house "Päivölä". The entrance to the flat is at ground level from the rear of the building on the east side. On the west side there is a spacious, partially covered terrace that extends across the entire width of the flat. The flat has been completely renovated, with the floor plan and the old doors from the construction period being restored. The toilet and shower are in the bathroom and the washbasin is outside. In the bedroom, the original cupboards from 1939 are still preserved under the staircase. The furniture is more modern. But mainly designed by Finnish designers. The table and chairs from the Tulip series by Eero Saarinen and the Karuselli armchair by Yrjö Kukkapuro take centre stage in the living room. Aino and Alvar Aalto are represented by the original wardrobe and a silver "Golden Bell" lamp. Overall, the interior design could be described as "space-age". The kitchen has been completely refurbished, with the new kitchen furniture being modelled on the original. For music lovers, there is a B&O music system with LPs and CDs from the 60s to the 80s.

Some takeaways also offer home delivery (Kotipizza Karhula, Pizza Metsäkulma).
What can you do in Sunila?
Sunila is famous for the architecture of Alvar Aalto, so it's well worth exploring (you'll find literature on this in the flat). We also recommend a tour with Kotka's guides (www.kotkaguides.fi).
It is also interesting to visit the "Kantola" house in Sunila (the villa of the former factory director). You should check the opening hours at www.sunilankantola.fi
Äijänniemi beach is only a few minutes away by car and is worth a visit in both summer and winter.
Sunila has a sports field with outdoor sports equipment and a new running track that anyone can use free of charge.
The nearby Karhula River Park is also worth a visit.
You can go cycling in the surrounding area. The town of Kotka with its many sights (Maretarium, Vellamo Museum, many parks) is also worth a visit. Boat trips to nearby islands are possible from Kotka harbour in summer.
