We had the pleasure of calling Nils' apartment home for a two week stay -- part business, part holiday. It was awesome! Nils is very quick to respond to any queries; his enthusiasm for Oslo and life in general is completely infectious. The apartment is spotless, modern yet homely, smartly furnished with colourful artwork on the walls. The high speed wi-fi makes keeping up-to-date with emails and planning excursions a breeze. We had breakfast at "home" each day and cooked several evening meals -- the apartment is perfectly equipped for this approach and there is an ICA supermarket nearby (plus a Joker mini-mart even closer). The bed is vast and supremely comfortable. The bathroom is a pleasure to use, with excellent water pressure. You will enjoy being part of a vertical community; as the sun sets, neighbours across the water light their lanterns and you too can light the one on Nils' balcony, adding a little sparkle to the night sky. The neighbourhood is fabulous and you can start each day with a walk into the centre of town via the waterfront, where there is always something new to spot, including dashing little boats plus huge cruise and naval ships. If you're a fan of contemporary art, do visit the Astrup Fearnley Museet which is skipping distance from Nils' door -- you will be confronted, challenged and leave with plenty to think about! I had several days exploring in solo mode while my husband was attending a conference -- solo female travellers will feel very safe in this neighbourhood, even when coming/going at night. Do jump on the various trams and see where you end up -- the 7-day travel pass is excellent value, particularly as you can use it for bus, train, tram and ferry. Hop on the #12 and enjoy pizza at Pizza De Mimmo. Or head to Mr India in town for an amazingly tasty meal (try the blue cheese naan). My husband and I thoroughly recommend booking in with Nils for your time in Oslo. We were tempted to miss our plane home... happy travels!
