Jorun was a excellent host! A little background, I was coming to Norway very last minute and was trying to find a place nearby where my grandmother lives. However, the room/place was not available for all the days I would be staying. I emailed her regardless, and she was so flexible - letting me stay in her own room AND organizing it to drop off the key with my family since I would be arriving since she was away. She made me feel very welcome. I also enjoyed staying with the other woman who was in the flat the same time as me.

The flat itself is lovely. It's located in a beautiful, safe neighborhood - not downtown Oslo, but very central and easy to walk around, or catch public transport. It's nicely laid out - no one is stepping on eachothers' toes. It's very clean (big thing for me) and nicely updated/modern - considering the historic age of the building! Also - even though it's near a fairly big road, it's completely quiet being tucked away in a back courtyard. The bed was lovely, and it was nice having a thick comforter on those chilly fall nights. I had a fantastic stay!
