Generally expectations were met. The park views are nice and there is A LOT of light and outdoor patio space. The bathroom is spacious with a counter for travel toiletries. The living room was comfortably furnished. Internet worked without any technical difficulties. The kitchen area is somewhat small and limited (a microwave would have been a nice feature which hopefully will be added for future guests). And the host Merete was very communicative and accessible by message. On the downside, the bedroom has a lot of potential and could be improved very easily. There is a very large closet for storing clothes, with shelves and baskets, and good quality hangers. This was great. But as of this writing the bed was the only furniture in the bedroom. The bedroom needed a night stand at least in my opinion. And the overhead ceiling bulb (low watt) was the only source of light in the bedroom. A nightstand with a lamp and a brighter ceiling bulb (and perhaps a brighter color of wall paint) would really enhance the bedroom. The room is big enough that there could even be space for a small sitting desk potentially. The neighborhood is nice but limited in options for dining. There is a grocery store nearby (Coop Mega) and a very charming higher end market (nice wines, produce, foodstuffs) located 1 minute from the apartment door that serves delicious brick oven pizzas. I chose this location as I was in Oslo for business in an office nearby, so it was great. The center of the city is not within walking distance so using public transport (or car hire) is essential (tickets for transport available conveniently on the ruter app). Fortunately there are many bus, trolley and train options including a major train station (Skøyen) nearby. It was a 5-10 minute bus ride from the apartment to the Sentrum area (best bus stop for going into the center is behind the apartment, on E18 by the Syølyst marina). The check-in experience could be improved (we had to retrieve the key from a location in Oslo Central Station, requiring an extra stop on our way to the property although the host may find a more convenient way of coordinating check in for future guests). I hope the host will find a better solution for future guests. In terms of quality/price, this property was a very good value (especially for Oslo) and could easily become a fantastic property with a few easy upgrades. We definitely enjoyed our stay and found our host to be very nice and communicative via messaging.
