This living-accommodation was BY FAR THE BEST I'd experienced in Oslo/Norway (since I started staying here for about 17 weeks/year in late/early April/May of 2014), for reasons including, alphabetically, 1. amenities, VERY accurately represented in the AirBnB-ad, 2. host-accessibility & -hospitability, including a VERY pleasant 2.1. Check-in & 2.2. Check-out, both with Henrik's dad, who's VERY charming in a NORWEGIAN way :), 3. neighborhood --it's ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE that this DE FACTO SUBURBAN PARADISE JUST OFF the water's/woods' SHORE/EDGE is LESS THAN SIX kilometers from downtown Oslo, albeit about *164* m. higher than Aker Brygge-- 4. neighborhood- 4.1. air-quality, 4.2. esthetics, & 4.3. serenity, & 5. spaciousness -- about 45 sq. m., which is HUGE for an AirBnB listing, ESPECIALLY in Oslo :); THE ONLY significant downsides FOR ME were the I. GRUELLING, approximately 6.1-km., 164-m. net-uphill, 16*6*-m. GROSS-vertical displacement, post-work UNmotorized-cycle ride from my worksite on Aker Brygge & II. lack of a 11.1. shop less than 35/105 minutes'/meters' round-trip walking-distance/gross-vertical-displacement away & II.2. washer OR dryer inside the apartment, though BOTH are EASILY II.2.1. affordable --5/10 NOK per wash-/dryer-load-- & II.2.2. accessible -- an EASY 2 flights' descent from the apartment; so, this last verse of a 1922 poem by Robert Frost, which has been my fave-ever poem by far since I 1st read it about 35 years ago, was ESPECIALLY on my mind THROUGHOUT my monthlong stay here:

'The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.'
