We found Mona to be a very warm, engaging and respectful person toward us. Her studio is as described, small, elegant and airy, tastefully decorated with lots of thoughtful details for a pleasant stay (from spare hairbands to plug adaptors to high end toiletries and egg cups) The apartment block itself benefits from a charming shared patio with wooden tables for al fresco dining and that great combination of innovative thinking, traditional workmanship and communal sharing, a trademark of Scandinavian countries, is revealed in the details of the building.
The area is ideal to explore the markets, the Opera house, the islands and the Munch Museum among others, all accessible by the number 12 tram, within 5 minutes from the apartment.
Due to its size, it is best suited for a single guest, but if a couple is willing to compromise in space, as we did,it will offer them a cool and easeful home in Oslo.
