This apartment is blocks away from the smaller, more localized Oslo town and Central Oslo is about 2 miles away, which was perfect for me and my three rowdy teenagers as it enabled us to enjoy the smaller aspect of town and take a long walk in the fresh, crisp Norwegian air before we reach Central Oslo, where all the most fabulous museums in the world are located. Irina was amazing in helping me to figure out transportation, find markets (there is one right around the corner!), good restaurants, and local must-sees---she communicated everything while we were still in California and then took the time to go over everything again when we got to Oslo. The apartment itself is perfect; we slept on the loft beds and did not need the extra mattresses Irina left for us. There is a kitchen, which allowed us to eat in (the salmon in Norway is remarkable), hence saving us money from dining out. This apartment can be described as very much IKEA-like, small (yet big), cozy, and warm. We hope to go back in the future!
