We loved Emil's apartment. It was within walking distance of everything: train station, tram station, downtown area, grocery stores, shopping, harbor and museums. Check-in was super easy and he offered us both early check-in the day after Christmas and late check-out on New Year's day. The apartment easily fit all our needs as a family of four. Do read instructions and make sure your teenager doesn't use all hot water with super long shower - that only happened once until we figured out electric water heater! We loved being so close to Oslo Street Food - great place to grab beers and easy dinner and play games at communal long tables. We also loved Torggata Botaniske. Both places only a block away. Great stay and Emil was always available to answer questions. Loved it!
