We were 18 people staying for 4 days in this magnificent mansion and we had such a great time. It could not have been better. This place has character, grandeur and is worth a visit in itself. It has an amazing location so close to central Oslo and with a bus stop right outside the door and several metro stations a short walk away. It only takes 6-7 minutes to central Oslo with public transport. The mansion is spacious with a huge dining table that easily fits 25 people and all 18 slept in comfortable beds and there was more than enough space for everyone. The hosts had prepared the house very well for our arrival, everything was clean, neat and in place and the house, kitchen and equipment was intuitive and easy to use. They even got out to ikea to by more duves as the Norwegian summer is a bit unreliable. And borrowed us rain clothes. The garden is massive and with numerous sitting groups and places to enjoy the morning sun and the evening sun. The property is incredibly well placed for light and the sun and with the main façade and garden facing south it has sun all day and evening. From the second floor one has a view of the Oslofjord and from the balcony and windows facing north one can see the whole Holmenkollen area and the famous Holmenkollen skijump clearly. The area is very quiet and residential and the houses in the neighbourhood are beautiful. The living room is very charming an has two fireplaces. There even was a sauna in the basement.

The hosts prepared 8 very nice bedrooms for us with 18 separate beds in total.

The host even offered to organise a barbecue and put the equipment out for us and the hosts were always attentive and available if we needed anything, yet left us alone and gave us all the privacy we needed. They where quick to reply both email and phone calls, and beyond hospitable.

Both kitchens were modern and the bathrooms in great shape. We can recommend this property wholeheartedly and to the full. This must clearly be the best option, mansion and location for bigger groups in Oslo. We want to thank the hosts for a awesome stay.
