Right from the time we made our booking, Tora was brilliant at communicating and offering all kinds of advice for things to do and places to see within her neighbourhood, and greater Oslo.

The apartment is beautiful, and in a glorious part of the Norwegian capital. It's an easy walk to two of the city's largest and most beautiful parks and it was a wonderful retreat to come home to at the end of the day.

It really was difficult to leave and we'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
