Coming from London, Oslo was about twice the price for most things like food and drink and shopping. Bit of a shock to the wallet! We opted for Sigruns spare room which was not unreasonably priced consisting of a bunk bed with single mattresses top and bottom. The beds weren't uncomfortable but it was a bit of a squeeze for my 6ft2 length. The apartment is very scandi-cool and we felt welcome using the kitchen and living room which are shared. The location was good for us being a short walk to Grunerlokke where there were lots of cool bars shops and cafes. A music venue is also close by called Blå. We recommend Tranen cafe down the road to start your day and a visit to the Art Museum Astrup Fearnley and pop into Rouleur bar across the street from the apartment for a night cap. You can't buy alcohol in the supermarket past 8pm and you can't park within 5m from a pedestrian crossing. Be warned! ;)
