Imagine having a friend in Oslo with a perfectly located and huge apartment who invites you to stay with them. But at the last moment they give you keys explaining they must be out of town, but do stay and make yourself at home. That was our experience.
Hilde and her family have a super comfortable home, lovingly decorated, in an ideal location, walking distance from everywhere, with all the comforts of home. Communication and responsiveness was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Just one caution. While it's an easy walk from the airport train stop, don't even think of walking with luggage during the winter when the sidewalks are icy and covered with gravel. Take a cab from the train station.
