Mari and David's home was lovely - exactly as pictured, clean and tidy. Plenty of space was cleared for me to unpack my things (a large drawer in the bathroom and large wardrobe in the bedroom), which went a long way in making me feel at home for a 3-week stay! It's also in the best location, very close to Aker Brygge and National Theater station, and close enough for a short run to Frogner Park.

Mari showed me around, showing me where to find spare linens and cleaning supplies, and demonstrated how to use the washer, dryer, coffee maker, and dishwasher. Coffee, fruit, milk, and cereal were provided and Mari showed me where I could find pots, pans, and spices to use for the (minimal) cooking I did while staying there.

The complex has a lovely courtyard area and I was invited to a barbecue event that all the neighbors had while I was there, so I was able to meet many of the people in the building, and all of them were lovely.

It was especially great when I had to change the date of my checkout (and then change it back!) and Mari was flexible to meet back at the apartment to get the keys at either time.
