The apartment is very clean, well-furnished and cozy, with a great view of the sloping hillsides leading down to the city proper and the fjord. Utilities and equipment (washing machine etc.) were easy to use and worked fine, the kids went absolutely crazy about the jacuzzi and used it every day. Host was kind and thoughtful, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and foodstuffs in the fridge to get us started after a long trip up. Beds were comfortable and linen/towels clean. The neighborhood is quiet and calm, even though this part of Oslo is pretty well populated. Good food shopping 200 m down the hill (Rema 1000), bus connections are good and the Holmenkollen ski jump arena just up the hill is REALLY worth a visit. We have no reservations about recommending Kerstin as a host or the apartment itself. We hope to be able to come back soon!
