Sometimes my partner and I book Airbnbs just for somewhere to stay while exploring foreign countries but Elsebeth's beautiful cottage is an experience in itself. It's exactly how it looks: a gorgeous, 1850s-built log cabin halfway up a mountain. It's idyllic. We stayed in winter amid snow tundras so I thought the cabin would be cold inside but it's so cozy - especially with the fire lit. If you do get cold though, Elsebeth provides hot water bottles, tartan robes and the duvets are so snug. The cabin is really easy to find too: it's right on a metro line which runs straight out of Oslo Station and the views from that metro are reason enough to take the journey. We made the trip in and out of Oslo often -it's really not far from the city but it's so serene and quiet. Additionally, Elsebeth is such an attentive host: she brought us new bulbs because she thought they were too dim and a bottle of red wine when we arrived. She was fantastic and I can't rave about this home enough. Thank you
