Hilde was an absolutely delightful host. From our first emails she was quick to respond, helpful, and happy to be flexible. When we got in late at midnight she greeted us with a warm smile and a quick orientation to her lovely, clean apartment. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment had all the amenities I would have wanted available (a hair dryer, an espresso machine). But even beyond the excellent apartment, very well situated on a quiet corner that is only 10 minutes walk from the main Oslo train station, Hilde was a tremendously friendly and helpful host. She offered advice on our proposed itinerary for the day, gave us tips on transit and a map, and generally treated us like friends as she shared her thoughts on Oslo, traveling, and more. Would highly recommend staying here - only sad we didn't get to meet John Richard!
