Silje went above and beyond what we expected to help us with checking in, even though she was not in Oslo at the time. She sent us helpful information via airbnb and made us feel that we were in good hands and very welcome. One point to note is that the apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator which could be a problem for travelers with large or many suitcases. For us it was not a problem though.
Her apartment is beautifully decorated and comfortably designed. Although the bedrooms are quite petite, the common living spaces are large and functional with enough seating for 8 people. Her kitchen was well equipped with a gas stove and smartly designed oven. The bathroom has a separate tub which is a plus for people with small kids. The art and decor in the apartment is beautiful and the beds and couches are also very comfortable.
The neighborhood is multicultural and has an urban feel, but is full of play areas for children and a particularly good cafe is right down the street (KAFE SØRLI AS) which I would definitely recommend. We stayed at Silje's apartment for the last few days of our tour of Norway, and were able to make use of the nearby metro station daily. We did not have a car during our stay, so the 15 minute walking distance to metro as well as restaurants, museums and parks was nice. We walked to the Munch Museum and Botanical Gardens on a lovely sunny day. Thanks, Silje, for the hospitality!
