Couldn't have hoped for a better host during what was my first experience of Air BNB!! Communication with Hege was excellent, and the description of the property, as well as the directions on how to get there, were absolutely spot on.
I was familiar with the area prior to my visit, which was one of the reasons for picking this particular property, but for those not so familiar, here goes. The apartment building is situated in an area off the beaten "tourist" path, so you are living in amongst "normal" people. A short walk from the apartment is the Manglerud shopping centre where you can purchase all your essentials. There is also a take away pizza parlour next door to the centre which I can recommend. Although away from the city itself, the apartment is ideally situated for access to Oslo centre, both by public transport or by foot, so is a much more economically sensible choice for those wishing to explore Oslo, but frightened by the astronomical prices of places situated more centrally. I walked into the city centre via Svartdalsparken which is literally a stones throw away from the apartment and is a quite lovely area. There are some photos of the route I took here; https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.872255226144059.1073741867.442461175790135&type=3
The apartment is what you would expect of a typical Norwegian home, stylish, minimalist and clean. The view from the balcony looks out over Oslofjord and is a lovely spot to chill out in during the late afternoon summers sun.
The amenities, such as kitchen and bathroom, are well appointed, clean and functional, although I didn't personally do any cooking. The bed was extremely comfy and the bedroom quiet.
For those not familiar with the Oslo area, Hege is very knowledgeable and happy to assist with visitors plans.
All in all, 10 out of 10.
