Arton's place was excellent. Being Puerto Rican and used to 32 degree weather, Arton's well heated and cozy apartment felt like a home away from home. His apartment is also conveniently located just a couple of minutes' walk from the subway station and a minute from a brand new bakery, (which we were fortunate opened not a week before we arrived at Oslo!). Arton was also an exceptional host. Amicable, smart, and an overall just a very cool guy, Arton helped us get to his apartment by greeting us at the main subway station, took us shopping for groceries, and even bought us some Freia chocolates (10/10 btw). He also showed us to the Tøyen restaurants were we had our first dinner (again, 10/10), and sent us a very helpful list of the places we should while staying in Oslo. The only downside of our time spent in his apartment was that most of the city is undergoing extensive construction work and as such, sometimes it made some noise, but usually his place was quiet. What I was very surprised by however, was the fact that we were his first visitors. Hopefully, people can find this review helpful and give Arton's place a visit. I know I would come back!
