We really enjoyed our stay in Andre's flat on the borders of trendy Grunlokka with its many pleasant restaurants, bars and music venues and near the river walk into town. (Recommend the Indian Restaurant on Olaf Reyes Plaas and Fru Hagen nearby for food at surprisingly reasonable prices for Norway and the nearby Bla club for music and drinks). Andre is a busy man so you may not see much of him but he is unfailingly gracious,friendly and helpful when you do. A really comfy bed in quiet surroundings and a calm, clean tasteful flat; a great place to explore Oslo from and would definitely return if in Oslo.
