My family enjoyed a lovely stay at Linda's place, and it has all the amenities we would need. We were offered to use her food in the fridge, backyard has enough space for kids to run around, and enough space for all 7 of us. There is a grocery store and restaurant within 5 minute walk, and bus stop and metro station near by. We purchased Oslo pass so we could take advantage of the convenient public transportation and museum visits. Definitely consider getting Oslo pass or at least the multi day Ruter pass for taking Metros and buses, also download the RuterReise app to plan your trips. By the way, you might get some kids in the neighborhood to come ask to play in the backyard trampoline.
