Maria’s flat is a beautiful little haven in a lively area. It’s a small space but we found we had everything we needed. We visited with a small toddler and it felt like just the right size.
There’s a great park opposite for picnics and for children to play in. There are several grocery store in close proximity too. Grunerlokka is full of bars and restaurants, but go a couple of blocks beyond that you have a lovely secluded river to walk down.
After 25 mins walk you’ll be in the very center of Oslo, or it’s a quick hop on the tram.
