We stayed in Marina’s apartment for nearly three weeks. Despite her being on her own vacation for our entire stay, she was very communicative, well organized, generous and accommodating to our travel disruptions and difficulties. Marina is an excellent host and we would recommend staying at her apartment.
The apartment was as advertised. It is located close to transit stops, a fitness center, a grocery store, and a wonderful coffeeshop/cocktail bar is a 10 min walk away. The neighbourhood is safe, quiet, and peaceful. The apartment was clean and met most of our expectations. The guest room had ample storage space, and a small bed that was just enough for the two of us. The kitchen was essential for our stay as most of our meals were made in the apartment. It lacked a few of the utensils and essentials that we were used to but that did not pose much of a problem. Finally, the apartment is well priced for the amenities that you are getting and is of exceptional value. If you plan to stay for Norway on a budget, there may not be a better place to call home.
We are extremely grateful to Marina for opening her home to us!
