John Richard was the perfect host, and we were sorry to not meet Hilde, but perhaps on our next visit. The flat was amazing, located conveniently about a 10 min walk from Oslo S (main train station) in a nice quiet neighborhood next to a charming park. The flat was spacious, well decorated, immaculate, and with a well-equipped kitchen we were welcomed to use. John Richard welcomed us warmly (even after arriving an hour late - tardy flight) and took the time to give us a detailed run down of Oslo and all the best sites to see. We followed his itinerary to a tee and we would recommend the same to future visitors. And after a day of site seeing, we would highly recommend going around the corner to "The Crow" for a drink. If you're into the craft beer scene, or want to give it a go, you'll be impressed. This flat is highly recommended.
