I would suggest this place to anyone wanting to visit Oslo. The island of Malmøya is beautiful, so after coming back from a full busy day in the city you can have lovely night time walks around the island. It's perfect for anyone who wants to experience a different side to Norway, the tranquil quiet side, without having to go too far from the main city.
Public transport is available from early in the morning until late at night, so you never feel pressured to cut your day short.
The apartment is small but cosy, with everything you'd need - free wifi, cooker, bedding, a selection of toiletries (but not the place for you if you want unnecessary extras)
The walk from the bus stop to the apartment is up hill and takes around 15 minutes, but it's so beautiful that I often found myself taking even longer from stopping and taking in the view.
Morten was a great host, very relaxed and accommodating (we arrived a little late and stayed a few hours after the stated check out time, but he was quick to assure us that it was totally fine) Other than a couple of meetings with the family when we arrived and in passing we were left to our own devices with the promise that if we needed anything they were only a few feet away.
This was my first time going abroad, and if (or more probably when) I come back to Oslo I will definitely be checking the availability of this place first!
