This is a very clean, very quiet apartment in a central location and Jang welcomed us with a cup of tea on arrival.
We did find some aspects about our stay at Jang’s place a little unusual. I thought the signs in the bathroom were a bit unnecessary as I’m sure my partner could manage not to pee on the floor without a sign telling men to sit to use the toilet, but I can also see that it’s important to keep it nice for other guests since the facilities are shared. The strict house rules mean that the apartment is sparkling clean!
The flat is shared with the host and another air bnb guest and as mentioned everyone shares one bathroom. The room is tiny and you are not welcome to use any other space in the flat so there is nowhere to relax.
The location is near the water but the window of this room faces directly onto the development’s internal walkway system with other residents walking right outside - don’t expect sea breezes!
The location is good, right by the marina and surrounded by restaurants and the apartment is very quiet which is nice. It’s quite touristy so personally if I were to come again I’d stay somewhere like Grünerløkka which is a bit trendier and more local but that’s just personal preference. The location of this apartment is a great spot for exploring Oslo of foot and is very near the swimming area, museums, galleries etc.
Overall we did not find our stay particularly relaxing and it did feel a bit like the host wants the money from AirBnB but not the actual guests... BUT if you want an impeccably clean flat in a central location for a quick stopover and don’t mind playing but the rules and comprising on space, this is for you.
