A cozy, eclectic nest in a lively, diverse neighborhood. Just a few minutes walk from the botanical garden to the north, the Munch Museum, Opera house and harbor to the South, to the southwest you’ll find the central train station and a bit farther on is majestic old town Oslo. We found so many great places to eat on Thorvald Meyers Gate, about 15 minutes walk to the northwest. The apartment is ideal in the afternoons with the sun warming you as you read (and maybe fall asleep) in the hammock on the balcony. At the push of a button, the coffee maker in the kitchen makes a better cup of coffee than you’ll find in most coffee shops. The host’s collection of African & Latin American posters, statues, and trinkets gathered from years of travel gives this top-floor abode a unique vibe you won’t find anywhere else.
