Käyn pian Suomessa kahden kaukuuden ajan. Voisinko vuokrata asuntoa tämän ajan?

That's supposed to say

I'm visiting Finland soon for two months. Could I rent an apartment for such an amount of time?

Depedns on where you are going, but most cities have at least some apartments you can rent (with furniture and stuff) for longer than a few nights. Generally a good place to start finding ones would be to contact the city officals directly, you can find their contact details online and more often than not also in english.

Kiitos. Etsin asuntoa Jyväskylässä, joten kysyn noilta kaupunginedustajilta.

Thanks. I'm looking for an apartment in Jyväskylä, so I will ask those city officials.

Oiskohan joku Noli studios sopiva tähän? Ei omakohtaista kokemusta, mutta olen vain jostain kuullut siitä.

Kielitoimiston sanakirja doesn't know what "oiskohan" means. Is this slang? What does it mean?

I was just suggesting Noli studios, as AFAIK they have short term rental apartments. Never used one myself tho. Oiskohan, is kinda slang, rough translation would be "I wonder if..."

One of my workmates has been in one of their places for a while now. I've heard they're particularly fun for young professionals.
