Very good arrangement - host is very cordial, accommodating and flexible concerning key pick-up arrangements, etc. The apartment is small, but very recently rennovated, and well set up with modern kitchen equipment (inductive cooking surface, etc.), private bath with great shower, plenty of linens and comfortable bed with table and chairs for work / eating space.

I'm quite familiar with Oslo, having been there at least annually for over 30 years, and this is a fine old classically European building in one of Oslo's most desirable and convenient areas - one block from a major public transport hub (tram, light rail, bus), so you will have and easy 10 minute trip to the center of the city with no more than a 10 minute wait at virtually any time. You will avoid the overpriced restaurants and shops of the center with a good variety of "reasonable" but high-quality alternatives. (You should know that there are no prices in Norway that are "reasonable" in any sense that Americans are familiar with). You will feel like a native in a couple of days.

Only downside is that this is a fourth story walk-up (but Nicholas will help with luggage to get you in and out conveniently).
