Andre is an absolute gem! Staying at his place was like staying with a friend. He’s one of the best hosts I’ve had on Airbnb and I’ve been using the platform for a while. He has hosted tons of people so he’s very thorough in giving guests information on the apartment and getting around Oslo before hand—and repeating them if the info doesn’t stick…sorry Andre! And he’s incredibly welcoming too, making time to give recommendations for things to do in the city and making himself available for questions at any time (over the phone) despite his busy schedule.

His place is just as described, if not better. It’s a very clean, "homey”, wonderfully decorated apartment— easy to get around from there with all transportation options available within a 8 min or short walk (the bus is much closer), but it’s also about a 25-30 min walk to the heart of downtown. Grunerlokka (named the coolest neighborhood in Oslo) is steps away.

I’d definitely recommend his place to absolutely anyone, especially solo travelers. It’s great to have a friendly face to chat with when alone in a new city. Hope our paths cross again!
