Merete was absolutely inviting, generous and welcoming as a host. She offered to meet with us an the central station which is a huge benefit if you've never been to Oslo. Her place is just a 2-3 minute walk to the subway, buses and streetcars, as well as some grocery and convenience stores. Once you're on the subway, she is only 3 stops away from the central station. Her place was very big, clean and modern. The bathroom was amazing and kitchen was very quaint and bright. She was very open about us coming back late or leaving early. We absolutely loved staying with her and will definitely return for a second stay.
