If we could give 6 stars, we would!
The host Galina was super helpful, beforehand she answered questions we had about getting to the house from the airport, as well as which app to download for metro tickets.
The house is in a great location, we were 25mins away from the city by train. And only 40mins away from the airport with 1 bus.
She gave us lots of information about places to eat and where the local grocery store was and their opening hours. She was always on hand to help us, she had superb hospitality and even let us borrow some of her tupperware containers so we could take packed lunches with us!
The flat was large, lovely, very clean and private, we had a large double bed in a separate room. The room had a wardrobe, chair and lots of nice towels. The bathroom and toilet was immaculate. We used the kitchen for making tea and having breakfast and we were encouraged to use what was in the cupboards eg if we wanted to use the waffle-maker etc.
Galina and her husband also assisted us with things we could do and pointed us in the direction of the ferries that travel to the island of museums as well as tours.
Galina and her husband also recommend we spend time in their balcony which had incredible views of the city, and we really enjoyed having a cup of tea at the end of the day under the blankets they gave us!
They were really caring as we come from a country with a warmer climate and made sure we were prepared for our hike. We felt very much at home and really enjoyed chatting to the hosts. For our next time in Oslo, we would love to stay with Galina and her family!
