Ivar, Siri and Ferdinand are the most wonderful family that will make you feel right at home in Oslo. I stayed with them for a month while I transitioned from New York City to a new job and life in Oslo. They welcomed me as if I was a long-time family friend and went out of their way to help me get oriented and settled.
Their house is perfectly situated around the corner from the train that takes you either to downtown Oslo or to the hills for hiking within 10 minutes in either direction. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and peaceful. You can walk to shops, parks, hiking, restaurants, but you're still removed enough from the center to unwind.
The room itself is wonderfully cosy and spacious. You wake up to a room full of light and a wall of windows facing the backyard and a creek. The beds are really comfortable, and the bathroom is luxurious. Bathtub + fireplace + movies on that big screen make for a very "hygglig" night in.
Enjoy your stay!
