Egil's place is a treasure. We appreciated staying in a real, clean, quiet, stylish Oslo apartment. Egil was great about communication and provided clear instructions about the apartment. The only disappointment was that the apartment - listed as non-smoking - smelled like cigarette smoke - apparently from previous guests - and we aired the apartment as best we could. The location is excellent for getting around by bus/tram/your own feet. The neighbors we ran into were friendly and the neighborhood felt safe. We would absolutely stay at Egil's again if he'd host us.
