Anders' Oslo apartment is in a great area -- very easy access to a good grocery store, restaurants, and gelato :) We quickly felt at home there, and found that we could walk back from many of our sightseeing adventures. On arrival, Anders was right there when we got out of our taxi and very kindly helped us with our luggage. He responded promptly to questions, and even brought over a space heater for us. Anders also gave us some helpful tips about getting to the airport at the end of our stay... rather than manage our luggage on the airport train, we simply reserved a taxi and walked the very short distance to the local taxi stand. Very convenient! While the apartment itself doesn't have a waterfront view, there were great views of boats, the water, and modern architecture all around the complex. We especially enjoyed the nearby Indian food restaurant and the gelato place right downstairs. While there was some noise from the restaurants and people passing by at night, it was not enough to bother us. We enjoyed the urban energy of the area.
