Egil’s place is a gem. A projector to watch movies on and a diverse album collection are a delightful touch when so many places only offer the basic amenities. The place is airy and decorated with an artistic touch. We were also allowed full use of the piano and guitars which is generous indeed and kept my daughter entertained.
Egil patiently and graciously met with us. He showed us how to work everything.
There was a map of the immediate area for us with key train and bus lines and Egil offered some suggestions of nearby things we might like. Egil also left a nice drawing pad and colored pencils for my daughter to use and played some lovely music on the piano for us before he left.
The flat looks great in the pictures and it has a retro boho chic appeal. In my mind this is better than prefab department store decor. The house plants, accessibility to the botanical gardens, parks, hip neighborhoods and the Munch Museum were everything one could hope for on a refreshing trip to Oslo.
Even if we were socked in with snow we could have spent days at the flat entertained by its ambiance, books, comics, movies, music, tea and coffee.
