Simon's appartement is perfect for one or two people. Here is why I would always choose it again:
1. Central. Right between the western and eastern part of town, 10 mins by bus from the station, 10 mins by foot to Akerselva/Grünerløkka, 15 mins by foot to the centre (Karl Johans).
2. Quiet. You won't believe how quiet a big city like Oslo can be so close to the centre. Good sleep guaranteed.
3. For self-supporters: Good shopping centre with big supermarked (& Vinmonopolet) nearby, grocery next door. Others: All kinds of restaurants and snack bars down the hill towards Grünerløkka
4. Homy, bright and spacious living room with two sofas, a big TV and kitchen.
5. Host: Couldn't imagine a better one than Simon. Always answers quickly.
Although I know Oslo, the quarters Sankt Hanshaugen and Ila were a new experience to me.
