Maria’s place is definitely cute and in a great location, but we didn’t have the best experience. We didn’t have the address because she was going to meet us at the local subway station to show us a shortcut to the apartment, but she didn’t answer any of our messages. We had to wait at the subway station at night for 30 minutes with no way of knowing we would have somewhere to sleep. She had fallen asleep and she did apologize, but it was not a pleasant way to start our trip to Olso.
She does have a cat that we were unaware of when we booked and I am allergic to cats. She got the cat after we booked so it wasn’t in the description of the place then, which I understand but I do wish I had been notified of this change as I may have booked a different place.
Maria was very kind and did offer us some delicious Norwegian snacks as well as offer us to help ourselves to her food for breakfast, something that is rare to find in Airbnb’s. She was very friendly and talkative and seemed to like having us there.
