Gry's apartment was perfect for us. We felt at home right away and enjoyed our time in there peacefully sleeping and enjoying cups of tea in the morning and relaxing in the late evenings. The apartment was very clean and the beds super cozy. It faces the back yard so it was quiet & felt very private. Gry was a great host, even bought and left us a few things for breakfast in the fridge.... above and beyond. Thank you.
The neighborhood was also perfect for us. Many trams passing a block away and the 30 bus which takes you out to Bygdoy island where you can swim in the Fjord and visit the viking museum. That was a treat.
We flew into Oslo super late at night, although it was still light out at 11pm!, getting from the airport was easy with the 23min public fast train and the many trams that take you from the main station a block from the house in less than 7 min.
We only had 4 nights in Oslo so being central with lots of transport was great for us. Many interesting streets to explore in the neighborhood of Grunerlokka, like Thorvald Meyers Gate, and a nice food market near the river.....we just walked and walked.
Don't miss the stunning Opera House architecture, you can walk up this building! It is built by the same architecture firm that built the 9/11 Memorial in NYC with the flowing water.
We Loved staying here! and I would recommend it to friends.
