With this being my first experience of using Airbnb, I was a little apprehensive to say the least. We were in Oslo for a trade fair and I had a responsibility to find accommodation for all parties involved, a considerable pressure as most are used to good (but boring) hotels.
Due to the high cost to stay anywhere in Oslo, I took a punt on Jakob's house and I was not disappointing.
Form the moment I booked, Jakob's communication was excellent, making me feel completely at ease with the decision I had made.
I even turned up quite late to the house and this was not a problem for Jakob, he was there to show me around and make sure that I was happy with everything. All of my colleagues were dleighted with their stay, some even told me that they slept better than they did at home!
The house itself is something to behold, a beautiful house, oozing with character every corner you turn. Whilst this house is over 100 years old, everything we needed was there. Connections to Oslo & the Trade Fair in Lillestrom were great (15 mins and you are on the lovely Oslo Waterfront, 30 minute drive to Lillestrom). I only wish we were not so busy so that we could have spent more time in this lovely home.
The rooms themselves were of such variety that my colleagues had quite a bit of fun trying to decide which room to have! If anyone prefers privacy from others in the house then I would suggest choosing the self contained apartment downstairs. It is well lit, spacious and has it's own shower & toilet.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my choice, my colleagues and I have all agreed that, should we attend the show next time, we will be booking this house again!
Thanks for your wonderful hospitality Jakob, see you soon hopefully!!
