Sachin's place was exactly as described, only about a 150 meter walk to the nearest bus/tram stop. Upon arrival, he offered us a pitcher of water. Personally, it was difficult to find his apartment initially, but I haven't seen any other reviews stating this so I'm convinced it's my lack of directional ability. Other than that, it's a great place to stay and I will look into renting his room again when I visit Oslo.
