This was an excellent choice of apartment because it was spacious and immaculately kept - an immersive experience in Scandinavian decor, I suppose. The kitchen had a full range of facilities, as did the bathroom and the living room is very nicely decorated with plenty of space. I went to Europe to meet a family member who was inter-railing and there was about 20 years age difference in us. Despite that, the apartment appealed to both of us so it's also one that has a wide appeal across age groups. It was also very clean.
The location is also an excellent one, nicely positioned for heading out to the city in various directions. Such legendary bars as No. 27/Himkok are also just around the corner. Plenty of stores too and cooking in the apartment is certainly an option. Indeed I wish I had done more of that. Visitors to Norway can find the prices overwhelming sometimes but the price of groceries is reasonable and a good alternative to going out all the time.
Because of the central location it was also really easy to come and go. Trams are readily available too with just a short walk but we never used them because everywhere that we wanted to go was within a reasonable distance. On the whole, a great location to catch the boat for seeing fjords (about 15 minutes walk) and experience some of Oslo's best bars - literally just around the corner. A good choice of stay on the whole.
