Emil's apartment was a perfect alternative to a hotel--spacious for two, comfortable, affordable, and secure. It is a short walk from Oslo S, Oslo Spektrum, and shopping on Karl Johans gate, but on a relatively quiet street. There are many grocery stores and convenience stores nearby, so you can buy your own drinks and snacks and store them in the fridge. Emil made sure to provide coffee and tea, as well. A nice touch!
Emil was very responsive and provided clear directions for check-in and check-out. We would stay at his apartment again.
