My husband and I stayed in Rakel's flat for two nights. It's located in a beautiful area of Oslo. It's a very quiet neighborhood and provided ample rest and relaxation when we needed it. When it was time for us to go out and about, the flat is located just one block from a bus line that goes pretty much everywhere you need it to. We were able to get to Oslo Center (the train we took from the airport), able to visit the Viking ship museum, kontiki, and the Norwegian folk museum all on the same route. The very beautiful Vigeland Park is only a few blocks away from the flat. There are a couple grocery store close by, a kiwi and coop prix.
The flat is located on the top floor of a beautiful building. There is a lift , but it was down for just a short while when we were there. Luckily it was when we were leaving for the day. By the time we returned, the lift was open for use again.
The flat is quite open and airy. There are many windows with pretty views. Rakel's made every part of the flat available to us including the kitchen and washer. We did use her kitchen, but did not use her washer. The flat was clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable as was the couch for relaxing. Thinking back the only draw back I saw was her wooden floors creak quite a bit, especially in the bedroom. I'm
Not sure if her neighbors could hear us, but I always felt bad tip-toeing across her floors. I didn't want to disturb her neighbors. All in all, wonderful stay and would stay again next time I visit Oslo. :)
