I'm happy to say that Anja's home was our home for 18 days in September 2013. It was perfect for our little family of 3 as temporary accommodation while we waited to move into our new apartment.

Anja was an extremely welcoming and generous host - very flexible about checking in and out and with good communication. Everything was very clean and tidy, with a minimal (and tasteful) smattering of personal effects - so that the apartment had just the right balance of rental apartment and guest house. Her lovely kitchen was exactly as in the pictures - bright and spacious and we enjoyed many a meal at her table (thanks also to Anja for offering us use of her well-stocked kitchen cupboards).

The location is superb - right opposite the Botanical Gardens (great for those early mornings with our toddler) and next to the Munch museum. A super place for visitors to begin exploring Oslo.

Although you can quickly walk into the city centre from Anja's (20 mins max), it is worth making use of the excellent public transport connections: you can be in the city centre within 10 minutes, or a 30 minute journey takes you to the wilderness of Nøklevann (an amazingly beautiful lake that we swan in) and the surrounding forest.

I would not hesitate to recommend Anja's place as your home from home in Oslo :)
