We had a nice stay at Torkell's place, travelling with two small children. The location is scenic and quiet, and we enjoyed hanging out on the lawn, walking to the nearby beach and just watching the boats go by. Torkell and his family were very welcoming, and the space looks much better than what can be seen in the pictures. The island itself is not very far from the centre of Oslo, but while the public transport connection is relatively convenient, the 10-15 minute walk to the bus stop with pram and children in tow is not for the fainthearted (no sidewalk) and in hindsight we would probably have made it easier for ourselves if we had hired a car. That being said, there appear to be more than enough cars on the island already!
