This is a stunning little apartment; there is a fantastic sense of space and light, windows in the bedroom and doors to the terrace let both breezes and light fill the apartment from two sides. The bedroom is set off from the living area with a very chic, glass wall; the bed is very comfortable. There is more-than-ample space to lounge in the loft area, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the bathroom is crisp and modern. It sits in a great location, just a couple blocks off Thorvald Meyers Gate and Akerselva. Cafés, restaurants and shopping are all walking distance, and the tram stop is two blocks away for everything else.

Runa was a charming host, met us at Liebling and walked with us to the apartment. She made sure we understood everything about the apartment and answered any other questions that we had--all with a spirit and passion and joyfulness that served as a perfect welcome to Oslo.
