Staying with Linn Beate and her family was a really great experience. They are so welcoming, helpful, flexible and great at giving tips to getting around the city and Norway in general (especially for first-timers).
Although, these words do not do their hospitality justice, as they didn't make us feel as if we were simply renting out a room in their home but as if we were friends who came to visit during our trip. The location is perfect. There's a park in their neighbourhood perfect for jogging or walking your dog in the morning. Their home is a couple of minutes walk from the busstation even though it is not needed as it is also walking distance to the city center - really handy if you're trying to save up on public transport costs ;)
All by all, highly recommended and we would for sure include their stay in a future trip to Oslo!
