This Airbnb had no self check in and host insisted on meet and greet. This even though there was a code and a WiFi lock on the door. So, I killed time at Central Station and the mall. Host did try to accommodate an earlier check in, but told him not to worry I had some trouble at the main door. The intercom system was not working and even the residents could not call or get in with the fab. Texted the host Olav who offered to come down. This was apparently a rare occurrence, just like the weather anomaly of intense humidity/heat.
The apartment with modern amenities was nice, but the room was tiny, maybe 7'*8'. It was right next to the kitchen and over a traffic circle. Apparently, according to the locals, I had the misfortune of arriving on the warmest day of the year, if not for all eternity.With the heat due to humidity at 90% , I had to open the window and the traffic noise was loud from the traffic circle right below. Difficult to get a restful sleep after a long flight and not sleeping 12 plus hours. The host Olav and his partner Pedro were nice enough. The dog Aslan was the best. I was awakened by the washer at 6:30 am in the bathroom against the adjacent wall to the bedroom. On the side of the apartment with the bedroom I was in is the kitchen and the loud road across from the mall. The bedroom that the hosts are in is opposite on the other side of the kitchen. The most peaceful moments were in the fabulous bathroom with dual head shower and listening to the seagulls at about 5:30 am when there was still little traffic in the circle. I was offered to help myself to coffee in the morning as Olav left early while Pedro was working from home but still asleep. Pedro and I had a brief chat over coffee and he recommended the rooftop view from bldg 14. It was spectacular. Ok place overall if you want a covered shopping mall and 30 min commute to central station, but don't open the bedroom window, unless you have to. In the stifling 90% humidity and high dew point with no AC, I had to open the window and let in the noise. From 10 pm to 8 am, there were four hours with little traffic noise, so I did not rest well. air conditioners are not common in Scandinavia, and it would have been nice to have at least a fan. Proximity to the mall across the street and the metro male it an overall easy stay and no doubt even better in winter!
