Clean, safe and ideal location for exploring Oslo. Hosts always available when needed. We enjoyed our stay.
The cozy apartment is great for a couple and maybe younger kids. (My teenagers were a bit too big for the bunk beds). We had a great time renting day passes for the city Obos bikes a block away and riding them around town for all our outings. Good coffee cafe around the corner as well.
Few Notes To consider:
- Note, there was no air conditioning or fan at this time. Probably not an issue most of the year but it happened to be unusually warm and humid while we were here, and the place was stuffy and too warm even with windows open. It also meant that we heard the train yard quiet often. It woke us up multiple times at night. You don’t really notice it too much when the windows are closed. Some of the trains passing through screech loudly on the tracks.
- The bathroom is tiny and would be difficult to maneuver for someone who is heavyset.
- Also, note that there is washer and not a dryer. There is a rack to hang your clothes to dry when needed. It just took our clothes 2 days to dry, so plan accordingly.
- Finally, the picking up and dropping off of the keys is at a cafe in the Central Station which was a 20 minute walk away. It wasn’t a problem for us since we came and left from there, but would have been extremely annoying if I hadn’t noticed it before heading to the apartment.
I still recommend the place, just keep it all in mind depending on the make-up of your party and logistics of your stay.
