I enjoyed my stay in Oslo in Merete's apartment. She is a great host, very helpful and charming. Also had the opportunity to admire her art work.
The apartment was very clean, essentials were provided, bathroom was very nice and tidy. There was provision for tea etc.
The place is a bit up-hill from T bane (metro) but was a good and small workout. It was easy to go everywhere in Oslo. Shopping places and eating place were also very close.
The building is near road so heard the traffic with window open, but didn't mind it much.
It was a great experience overall and I recommend it to all :)
