Kiehtova tuulahdus vanhaa aikaa. Erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta, joka mielellään kertoi niin englanniksi kuin suomeksi historiasta

Discovered this after visit to the Children's Museum in Helsinki square, so interesting to see inside the house.

Petites maisons en bois du 19e siècle. Visite très intéressante. Le personnel est costumé et peut répondre aux questions.
