Definitely stay here for your trip to Oslo! Oslo is a gorgeous city, and this home is just steps away from the modern, new "Barcode District" designed by famous architects MVRDV. The home is furnished in a modern, clean, warm style. Add that to Chris and Martin, who are Cecilie's sons and are super welcoming, cheerful, and friendly. They were accommodating to my late check-in, and immediately shared great tips on must-see sights and food. I really enjoyed our conversations. I learned so much about Norwegian culture and Oslo's history!
The Opera House is a 20 min walk away and is a must-see. I spent many hours at the free public rooftop, where you can soak in beautiful views of the city, sea, beaches, and swimmers. There's a really cool public sunbathing / cultural area near the Astrup Fearnley Museum and Oslo Castle. This airbnb was the perfect place and allowed me to walk everywhere in my 3 day stay.
From airport without car: the area is super safe and easy to access - just a 12-15 min walk to the train station (shorter by bus) for transit to the airport. I was a lone female traveler and had no problem walking there and back past midnight. Oslo is way safer than most American cities after dark. Thanks for a great stay. I'll definitely be back.
