Kim and Jen were the best hosts ever! First of all, they were 100% accurate in their description of their place, and it was indeed centrally located, within walking distance of the Royal Palace. The room was large, nicely decorated and comfortable, as was their entire home. They also made us feel that their home was ours. They welcomed us with offerings of tea and water, and then sat with us for at least an hour to tell us about what to see, where to eat and what to do in Oslo. We did not take advantage of their access to bikes our first day since we felt that we needed to orient ourselves first by walking some of the streets of the city, but the bikes came in very handy our third and last day as we raced around the city to see all that we hadn't yet seen. We enjoyed additional time around the kitchen island with Kim and Jen on our last night. They are interesting and curious people with a love for travel and people, so conversation was easy and enjoyable. They also knew that other guests just wanted their personal space, so if you are looking for hosts who are willing to share but also acknowledge that not everyone wants to become a little "family" during their stay, you've found the perfect hosts in Kim and Jen.
