The apartment is in a great location next to the river but also lots of restaurants and grocery stores. It was very quiet despite being near a busy street. Eirik provided detailed maps and instructions for the apartment. We took the bus and the trolley into downtown which were both a few blocks away. It took about 15- 20 minutes to the main tourist attractions and a bit longer to the museums. If you want, you could take the path along the river all the way to downtown, but we were up for that with our young girls. I highly recommend this apartment in Oslo!
