For 6 weeks I stayed in this apartment during the summer. Overall, I had a pretty good experience but I don’t know if I would book this apartment again. Here are some pluses and minuses:
+ The location is great, couldn’t be better.
+ Helpful, communicative and flexible host
+ Cute place
+ Dishwasher and washing machine
-The apartment is very dark, there’s no direct sunlight, it’s always in the shade (even if the sun is shining bright outside, it is dark inside).
-Though the kitchen and bathroom were clean, the table and stools were not clean, I wiped them with Cif several times before the cloth came back clean-ish. The window sills were also not cleaned in a while. There was quite a bit of dust and bird seeds on them.
-The bedroom roll up curtain is too short so on Norwegian summer nights it is difficult to sleep because the light comes in right by the head.
-There are no curtains in the living room and you have to cross the living room to get from the bathroom to the bedroom, not ideal.
-The shower in the bathroom is a shower curtain with a tiny plastic kind of bathtub that you stand in; this is not a big issue though, it’s fine for short stays.
Hope this is helpful for those considering this apartment. The location is great and the place is cute, but all points I mentioned considered, I decided on 4 stars.
