This is hands down one of the most beautiful places ever!
Having arrived on a very sunny September afternoon, we spent quite some time on the patio at the Oslo fjord, enjoying the scenery and going for a swim before taking the bus into Oslo.
The bus stop is literally outside the property and the bus ride to the city merely takes about 20 minutes. NB: make sure to take some Norwegian money out before you board the bus since they don't take credit cards. Thanks again to the driver of the 83 line that he let us stay on anyways!
The seafront house itself was immaculately clean and perfectly equipped. Besides a complete kitchen, the living room has a large LED TV, a small Bose stereo (Bluetooth) and a large table for 6-8 people with a breathtaking view. From the kitchen/living room area, the adjoining bathroom and one of the bedrooms can be reached.
The bathroom was perfectly clean even by very picky standards. Fresh towels were provided just like shower gel/shampoo. The only thing we did not see was a hair dryer (maybe it was there) - not an issue for us but if you've got long hair, you might just miss it, even if we are now comparing an Airbnb place to hotel standards... The bed took has four bunk beds and if you are very tall (1,9m+) you might find them a bit short.
On the upper floor that can be reached via a small ladder mounted to the wall, there are four more beds directly under the roof. Fresh and clean bed linen were provided for. The beds on the upper floor might a bit hard to reach via the ladder for older people but since there are alternatives, that should not be an issue.
The outside area around the house was also spotless and very nicely decorated. There was even a Weber grill (gas) set up, which we did not use but we imagine we could have.
Kåre and Truls, the owners, live on the same grounds in a separate house and are extremely nice hosts. Directly after our booking we were contacted by Kåre with a very well prepared PDF not only explaining how to get to the property but also with tips what to do in Oslo etc. More tips on how to get into town, where to find what in the house, etc. are provided in a little booklet on the dining room table. Overall, it's more than apparent that Kåre and Truls have been "in business" for a while and that they enjoy it.
So, bottom line: if you are wondering whether to spend the little extra money to stay here, just do it. It's more than worth it and we can only recommend both the place and its hosts.
