A good place to start for all info when moving abroad is with the guides, like the Expat Guide to Helsinki. It offers info on Finding Accommodation and Flatsharing.

You can also try to connect with expats through the network, classifieds, or expat blogs in Finland.

Anyone have tips on flatshare?

 

Hello!

Did you try HOAS? Because if you are a student they could provide you cheap accomodation. If you could not get a room from HOAS you can check this site for rentals.

 

Hi Marina!

I do have a free room in an apart for these dates. I'm a spanish 25 years old girl, I'm moving to Helsinki to work as a teacher in a nursery school and my boss offer me his apartment. I was going to share it with another teacher of the nursery but finally she is not working with us, so the room is free now.
It's a big room with terrace, the rent is 400 (internet and electricity are not included).
What is essential to me is to create a nice ambient in the apart. I've been living in Paris for 2 years and I don't mind speaking in french or english
