I'm not quite sure what to make of this rental. I'll start out by saying that the room is quite nice. It was perfectly clean and the bathroom was also quite nice so we had no complaints about the rental space. However, the setup of the rental is a bit odd. The rental is downstairs but you have to go through the main part of the house to get there. There is a kitchen upstairs but guests aren't allowed to use it, which again is a bit odd considering that you have to essentially walk by it to get to your room. Although our downstairs room was quite clean, the upstairs part of the house was not clean and had a bit of an odor. There were dishes piled up in the sink, pizza boxes on the floor, etc. It kind of looked like a college house upstairs. Additionally, Ivar posted the listing but we didn't even meet him. We dealt with his son, who was young (perhaps college-aged) and pleasant. We told him that we would arrive between 3 and 3:30, and we arrived right on time but the room wasn't ready yet and he said it would be "a few hours." Again, he was nice but it was a bit of an awkward situation because we didn't really have anywhere to go in the interim. Again, the actual rental space was nice, clean, and quiet so if you're fine with the other parts than I think this place will be suitable for your trip to Oslo. It's very close to a train station, which was convenient!
