This was an ideal home to stay in for the ten days I was in Oslo. Marita and her son were so welcoming and kind; they felt like family from day one. I was busy with a yoga teacher training every day and had so much space and quiet time in the apartment and in my room, but when I wanted to chat or learn more about Norway, Marita was right there. They have a sweet little dog named Shanti who would hang out in my room when I let him and he was just happy to settle into the rug for a nap. Everything in the flat, especially the bathroom and kitchen, were spotless. I hope others can continue to come and feel this homey feeling in a new place. Also, the location was perfect with stores and cafes around, beautiful parks and a half hour walk to city center. Highly recommend!
