We had a great time in Oslo, and having Monica's apartment to stay at was the icing on the cake! Her apartment is perfect for a couple and well located. We were out away from the bustle of the city, but close to public transportation when we wanted to go in. There are some restaurants, bars, grocery stores in the neighborhood so it was really convenient when we wanted to stay close by. We were able to walk to the beach within a half hour and up to the lakes in the north in under 2 hours. Parking was easy and clearly marked. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we get the chance to go back.
