Liv and Peder are great hosts and I had a wonderful time staying at their home! It was very nice to live in a house after spending the last ten years in apartments. There was so much fresh air and space and nature was very close by.
The house was exactly as described. I was able to use the kitchen and laundry machine, which was important to me since I stayed there for one month. During this time I was able to have many interesting conversations with Liv and Peder, who were both very patient and friendly to help me improve my Norwegian language.
The location is very convenient - it is about a ten minute bus ride to get to Majorstua, where you can transfer to either the T-bane or streetcar, or to another bus. I worked in Toro and at first worried the commute would be long, but it was actually much quicker than I expected. You will also be about a 25 minute walk away from two very beautiful places in nature - Vettakollen and Båntjern. The grocery store is about 200 meters away, and there is a Sunday open grocery store about 400 meters from the apartment. The bus stop is right across the street and comes every 15 minutes.
I can highly recommend staying with Liv and Peder. It was a great value and a very comfortable home. Thank you!
