Merete gave the most detailed instructions on how to get to her place - perfect when you touch down and you don't have the Internet to help you. Her apartment is located just 10 minutes (on my short legs) from Oslo Sentral and very near to the Opera House - I watched the most gorgeous sunset from there and it was heartening to know I was not far from "home". The room itself is very spacious, with a pretty sunroof. I did not stay for long, only one night, but Merete helped made me feel very welcome. When I arrived, she gave me a quick tour of Oslo which I found extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend her place.
