We were a group of 4 who stayed at Sverre Magnus' place, and none of us had been to Oslo before. The apartment is in a great location (reminds me of the Distillery District in Toronto) and we were able to explore Oslo easily on foot from there. It is a great area with lots of restaurants and coffee shops lining the surrounding streets, which are all car-free. (The Bergshaven bakery next to the building has the world's best carrot cake, FYI.) The apartment itself was great, had everything we needed for our stay, and had super-comfy beds. Sverre Magnus was in constant contact with us and made our stay comfortable and easy. Highly recommend!
