Brigitte apartment is within a good distance to the main town. I would say if you like taking walks and observing local nature, it is a great place to stay and i found it more interesting than the city.
The house is in a quite , residential area. It can be a bit difficult to navigate around the roads if you have a car, that is the only problem. Roads can only fit one car down so you need to be a bit more cautious . It can be a problem if it is icy getting up the many hills on the island, however, an experienced driver will be fine.
We went for a walk around the beach in deep winter which was beautiful and still and it only took 5 minutes to reach.
We used the apartment to prepare meals and it had more than the usual amount of amenities. There was a wide array of utensils , crockery and some basic condiments that really help such as oil,salt and pepper. Everything was clean and fully working. There is no oven but there is a grill that can be used as one.
The shower had heated floor that really dries everything quickly in an open shower. It is clean and has a continuous supply of hot water.
The room was well heated also.
Brigitte was always on hand to help us, even assisting in planning a day to the fjords by ringing up and asking some queries we had about traveling there and ticket prices. She was extremely accommodating and her communication was very thorough and responsive.
I would definitely reccomend this apartment for affordability in an expensive Norway.
