Melissa was among the best hostesses I've ever encountered. She emailed me a detailed packet outlining her Oslo neighborhood, including several food and entertainment options. She also invited me to join her for a home-cooked dinner, which was delicious. Beyond that, her apartment is beautifully decorated -- every room was packed full of interesting decor and furniture. And the surrounding neighborhoods are vibrant and easily walkable. Definitely stay with Melissa if you're visiting Oslo.
