First, dealing with Haakon is A+. What a great host: attentive; quick to respond; clear communication; friendly.
But....we were not pleased with the location, and not because it wasn't situated within easy reach of all of Oslo's main attractions (it was), but because we didn't feel safe in the area. 24-hour drug-use on the street leading to the apartment made us feel uneasy throughout our stay.
Difficult to write this review because Haakon was so great to deal with.
This may very well be a fantastic stay for another type of traveler, just not for us.
