My fiancee and I stayed four nights in early April, and could not have hoped for a more comfortable stay. The physical accommodations were spacious for two people, and would have managed twice that number with ease. The shower is under an eave of the house, but that posed no problem, as the tub is large and the water is hot. After a long day of enjoying the outdoors, it was rather nice to sit down to bathe.

Accessibility to Oslo was simple: we walked out the front door, crossed the street, and took a ten-minute bus to the city center. We also enjoyed a ten-minute morning walk south to the rolling footpaths of Fiskevollbukta, and tried to determine whether the ice fishermen were having any luck.

Truls was a wonderful host, keeping the upstairs immaculately clean while we were away and offering the option of a great breakfast spread. Given the price of eating out in Oslo and given the host's warm character, priceless conversation, and sense of humor, we highly recommend taking the breakfast offer. We wouldn't be surprised if you discover that Truls or Kåre has lived or visited somewhere meaningful to you, or know someone that has.

Felix is a people-loving and sociable cat, with a lovable jet engine of a purr. We are very happy that he was also part of our stay.
