Dream Hostel & Hotel Tampere / Room & Vegan Friendly Breakfast review 2023

Regarding accommodation, I like to stay in either Airbnb or a hostel because I can interact with other travellers quite quickly and get useful information.

Yeah travelling Europe and if you cannot miss any good coffee opportunity, this is a reliable source.
