I was thoroughly pleased with my stay at Tove's. From check in to check out communication was clear. Even when I arrived late in the evening, checking in was no problem. Tove and her daughter were extremely kind and tried to help me find some places nearby that we're open late.
As for the location, there's public transport nearby and some eateries within walking distance. However all the main places to go/see are much further out and require a mode of transport....buses/cabs/ubers are quite useful. It wasn't an issue for me as I wanted to be in Ulleval, but it's something to keep in mind.
The apartment is as pictured. The space is in the basement which you have to yourself. Though it's below ground, the room is still quite bright. There's no a/c but truly Oslo rarely gets that warm, plus there's a window that allows a nice, cool breeze. I only wish there had been a net on the window as I was constantly battling with bugs but it wasn't a big deal.
Only suggestion I have is about the WiFi. Because the room is in the basement, the connection is very weak and goes in and out. Perhaps a router should be added downstairs.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend the place to anyone. Definitely would be back.
