Kåre & Truls' cottage is an amazing place to get the best of both world's in Oslo -- you're right on the water for perfect access to nature but still close enough to Oslo to explore everything the city has to offer. The cottage is compact but efficiently designed. It was perfect for three of us to sleep, cook, eat and enjoy ourselves. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and offered detailed check in/out information, recommendations, and information about the cottage. I'd definitely recommend it!
