Melissa was at the apartment to greet us and give us a tour. She welcomed us to use everything in the kitchen and we felt at home immediately. The apartment is so beautiful and cozy and homely (I think the Norwegians would describe it as koselig - I want to transplant the whole apartment back to Melbourne).
We were travelling as two friends, so it was good to have two bedrooms - the beds were comfortable and it was quiet at night.
The location is really convenient - close to Tøyen train station and the tram. Shops and cafés are close by (try the raisin brioche at Kaffebrenneriet in Grønland).
Melissa is very friendly and chatty, and provided lots of tips and directions on how to get around. Her map and 'things to do' guide was really helpful and we enjoyed everything she recommended.
Oslo is expensive so we took advantage of the the kitchen and local supermarket and had breakfast and most dinners at home - the kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could need, including coffee machine and pantry basics.
I highly recommend staying here!
