Such a neat old apartment! Sissel has maintained the charm of the place without losing modern amenities, e.g. bathroom and kitchen are updated and nice! The bed is soft and cozy, the bedroom full of light and space, and the kitchen is good for food prep. Regarding food, I purchased groceries for the week of my conference and used Sissel's kitchen and fridge. This helped with Oslo's cost, but I didn't explore restaurant spots. Nevertheless, the neighborhood seems to be full of them! A few colleagues enjoyed the nearby Vietnamese place Miss Gin. There is also a good coffee shop (Supreme Roastworks, which I did visit) near to the apartment. In terms of location, I think Sissel's place is great. You are located in a hip neighborhood with parks and whatnot, but only a short hop to downtown or other areas. The bus stop right outside can even take you to the airport, and several streetcar lines (trams) stop about a block away. My conference was at the University Blindern campus, which was easy to get to each morning - the transit really does run very frequently! I recommend the sculpture park (Vigeland), the botanical gardens, and the science museum. Sissel was professional and helpful when I was arriving into town, and I appreciated her hospitality. Overall I would say this is a great spot!
