Lovely stay at Viljar's place—it was my first time in Oslo, and helpful to have kind and responsive human beings on the other end of check-in :) I especially appreciated the directions to get into the apartment, as I accidentally walked by the entrance the first time. The space itself was quiet, clean, and well-stocked; I enjoyed the wood-burning stove on a very snowy day, and it was great to be able to do my laundry. The area is slightly off the beaten tourist track: awesome for getting out of the bustle, and a bit of a walk if you're doing touristy and sit-down restauranty things. Public transit was super easy to navigate, and I felt safe in the neighborhood.
