Mona is very welcoming and friendly, she is multi-lingual and is gracious in every way - she truly enjoys being able to share her beautiful home, 2 cute cats, and Oslo itself with visitors. The location is ideal, within an easy walk (or various modes of public transport) of downtown Oslo, wonderful parks, lots of shops and restaurants. Oslo is wonderful, and we would consider ourselves very fortunate if we were able to stay at Mona's on another occasion.
