We stayed at Jarle's apartment for 4 nights in July and it was really good for us as we also have 2 young kids. Even though it is a bit small, they have a fully equipped apartment with everything you need including toys. The apartment is located in a hip, happening area just a short walk from the city and is full of funky cafés and restaurants, as well as great shopping and galleries. So grabbing a quick coffee or meal and walking everywhere was not a problem. Also serviced by trams so transport is not a problem. Jarle was a very helpful host. We never got to meet him as he was also away at the same time, but he was very responsive on email and helped me with questions I had. I would definitely recommend Jarle's apartment to anyone (esp small families) who is looking for a place slightly out of the city. We did not have a chance to check out the night scene in the area because of our kids, but it seems like it is quite a nice thing to visit the restaurants and bars around the apartment.
