Merete made us feel very welcome in her house, and way extremely helpful in suggesting what we should see and do whilst in Oslo. She was knowledgable about which exhibitions were on currently and where we should go at which point of the day!
The neighbourhood doesn't have much to do, but it is very central, and easy to walk to most places from her apartment.
We were able to use Merete's bikes which was a highlight of our trip, as it meant we could see more of the city! Use of the kitchen is wonderful, as you can save money and cook a meal in her kitchen.
She was friendly, open, helpful and welcoming and even made us a lovely pot of coffee one morning! I would definitely recommend her and her home to stay when in Oslo.
