The flat was in an extremely convenient location to central Oslo. There is a bus and a tram that is 5 stops from the central train station, comes every 5-7 minutes, and is right around the corner. The flat is not really completely separate from the house, though you do get a private entryway, kitchen, and bathroom. But you do still hear noises (TV, cooking, talking, walking) from the house. The living area/kitchen has heat, but the bedroom does not, and the shower, while high pressure with plenty of hot water, is quite small. There is not much light in the living room, so cooking after dark is a bit of a challenge, and the WiFi is rather spotty (we were visiting for an academic conference and had to be online to prepare). The garden seems like it would be lovely in the spring and summer, but in the fall it was a bit of a mess and rather precarious to walk through in the dark (the crab-apples from the tree were scattered throughout, creating tripping hazards). We only saw Trude once when we arrived. Overall, a nice place in a great location at an affordable price in an otherwise extremely expensive city. Perhaps not the most comfortable of flats available, however.
