This apartment was a quick walk from the 7-Eleven where the keys were located. If you are traveling from a different country and not planning on using cell service in Norway, be sure to get the Sharebox App before leaving your home country in order to gain access to the keys.
The apartment was located in a primarily residential area with some spas and grocery stores close by. The three flights of stairs to the apartment were tiring but manageable. The building was old, but the apartment itself was updated nicely.
Upon walking in the door there is a bedroom across from the entry with access to the bedroom with the twin beds through that bedroom- great for kids or close friends. To the left there is a short hallway leading to a sitting room, then the dining room and kitchen, followed by the bathroom and another bedroom. The apartment was very spacious.
When we first arrived (30 minutes after check-in time), the apartment hadn’t been cleaned yet. However, after a quick phone call to Merete, she contacted the cleaners and the apartment was cleaned within a few hours of us arriving. Merete apologized and mentioned that this had never happened before. She also refunded our cleaning fee as a consolation.
Window treatments in the apartment were sparse, so it was very light and airy inside.
The only major downfall was the tram that went by every few minutes from 5:15 am to 1:15 am every day, and it was very loud. Keeping the windows open to keep the room cool was a must and it was impossible to sleep in the front rooms during the hours the tram was running without earplugs.
