Kare and Truls are wonderful hosts, very responsive and helpful. Upon our arrival, Kare introduced himself and helped with very useful advice for our trip. The house is soo charming, such an amazing view! We were a group of 5 people (two adults and three teenagers) and were very comfortable. Just one word of warning, the loft beds are only accessible by ladder so best for either young people or athletic adults. The kitchen was beautifully equipped, we cooked several breakfasts and dinners with ease. So amazing dining by candle light with 360 degree water views. There is one small grocery store approximately 20 minutes by foot otherwise I would advise shopping in town before heading back. The trip to downtown Oslo is super easy, 10 minute bus ride. The buses come every half hour and stop right outside the house gate. Try to purchase bus tickets in town before heading out to the house. Tickets can be purchased at most convenience stores. You can also purchase tickets on the bus but would need Norwegian Kroner or Norwegian credit card (I think) to do so. I imagine the house would be amazing in the summer but equally great in November. Toasty warm and we even took the opportunity to drink our morning coffee on our dock tucked warmly in the the house provided blankets. Can't wait to go back!
