We had an excellent time in Oslo and that started with Kamal and his lovely apartment. Kamal took the time to meet us and show us the ins and outs of the flat, where to buy the tram tickets from and generally everything we needed to get going in the city. The flat itself is really well situated and perfect if you're after the less touristy side of Oslo. We initially started exploring Oslo around the harbour and old town, but the life of Oslo really seems to be situated around the river. Cool bars, food halls and great coffee is always within a block from it.
