Erlend and Lisa are excellent communicators from the moment you book! I was given crystal clear directions, and step-by-step instructions on how to find my way after de-boarding my flight. From which direction to turn, to the purchase my transit ticket (with options and prices), to maneuvering public transit if I preferred the bus. My plan was to stay at Erland and Lisa's place for a couple nights to explore the town center, and then take the train to Bergen. Not realizing that Bergen tickets sell like hot cakes, Erland saved the day by assisting me with an online ticket purchase which I reimbursed him for once which my bank had time to adjust to my new location and approve a fund withdrawal. It was ABOVE and beyond the call of duty, and I will forever be thankful for his assistance with that!
NOTE: make sure to notify your bank in person and in writing of your detailed travel plans. I did this, and still ran into occasional hitches where they took too long to approve payments or withdrawals).
Lisa had to be away, but Erland was a perfect host. Their apartment is spotless, and has everything a weary traveler might need: comfortable room and bed next to bright window with shades, a writing desk, reliable Internet access, a door lock for your privacy. A nice roomy shower, fully equipped kitchen (grocery store with outdoor veggie stand is right up the block), a cute patio with view to enjoy morning cafe, and a TV equipped with Netflix -sorry Erland I think I pushed a wrong button :p. Erland was in and out during my stay, but always very friendly and made my time there really stress free with all his helpful suggestions.
I highly recommend you include them on your journey!!
