The greatest thing about our stay with Maryam was how helpful she was. Whether it was about places to see, how to get around or the local culture, Maryam proactively informed and oriented us. She is also a very generous person with an interesting life story she will openly share with you.
Although you share the house with Maryam, she leaves you one bedroom, the giant living room and the terrace so you have plenty of space to enjoy yourself.
The location is fabulous. You won't get a better view of Oslo than from there. It is quiet, charming, and relaxing. Nonetheless, downtown is only 20 minutes away by subway, which you can catch right at the foot of Maryam's habitation. We had a car but never took it out of the parking lot.
If you're looking to experience Oslo in a different, less touristy way, Maryam's place is what you are looking for.
Thanks again Maryam and hope to meet your path again soon!
