Before fully reviewing our week at Stein's flat which was quite nice, let me describe a major disappointment. The Airbnb listing for this apartment was for a a three bedroom, two bath apartment. When we arrived, we found that the "third bedroom" was a mattress in the dining room. The apartment had a shower/laundry room and a separate toilet room. While separating these two facilities adds utility to the apartment, it is not a 2 bath flat. Two baths means two toilets. This was not the case. We are long time users of Airbnb and we rely on the filtering of listings to present to us those apartments possessing attributes that are important to us. When we find reality doesn't match the listing, its a breach of trust. We strongly suggest that Stein's listing be changed. Fortunately, these inaccuracies did not radically affect our use of the apartment - it was just disappointing.
Now to the good stuff. The flat had a large dining room table and a fairly well equipped kitchen - two of the reasons we selected it. We hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for ten and the kitchen had substantially everything we needed to prepare and serve this multi course meal. The large living room was a great place for pre-dinner cocktails and we used the large flat screen TV to display an annual slide show that we usually prepare for Thanksgiving dinner in the States. The flat's location in Frogner is wonderful - transportation is easy and we were a short distance from Jacob's, a great supermarket in Majorstuen where we reserved our nearly 20 pound fresh turkey. Frogner is full of first class restaurants and bakeries and everything was at our fingertips. We've stayed at a number of different locations in Oslo over the years, and this was probably the most congenial.
Other renters have mentioned the fourth floor location. Be prepared for some exercise, but it was worth it. The flat had sufficient hangars and linens and was well heated. Check in and check out was via a key drop at a 7-11 a short walk away. Stein left a list of rules and instructions for trash, etc in the apartment. He was responsive to requests via email and texting. Overall, we had a great stay at Stein's apartment
