Elsebeth's cottage was straight out of a fairytale, and it was an extremely relaxing place to stay. You do pay for the coziness a little bit in accessibility and modern amenities, but it's worth it. It's still only a 30 minute metro ride and a 5 minute walk from Oslo Central Station, and I personally enjoyed that distance from the busy city. Sitting in front of the fireplace in the evening after a busy day out was wonderful!
