We had a great time in Mari's and David's lovely house. Mari picked us up at the railway station (National Theatret, you get there straight from the Airport with the Flytoget) and walked us to the apartment in just 5 minutes. We felt at home immediately. Mari showed us around and provided us of all information needed. Our daughter (8) and son (5) were very happy to sleep in their daughters wonderful bedroom, packed with toys. After a day of sightseeing, it was always nice to return to this comfortable home away from home. It is full of light and has a terrific comfy couch and a fully equipped kitchen. We did cook a few times but also the take away sushi (just cross the street) was very tasteful :-). Just two doors away there is a grocery shop and only two blocks away a large supermarket (Kiwi) with all you need. Down the street, tram 12 will take you to either Frogner park or the lovely Grunerlokka. We took our kids to the Technik museet and we had a day of fun. Also the Vulkan area is great, with it's cosy indoor food market and some lovely bars and cafes. Just one street further from the food market is Oslo's oldest street, up a hill and with romantic looking wooden houses in lovely colors (Telthusbakken). We had a great time in Oslo and one of the reasons was our stay at Mari's and David's house!
