Admittedly we were here during the latter part of September but the "garden" was pretty unkempt with old chairs sitting around, lots of cigarette butts on the ground, overflowing ashtrays on the small porch. The apartment itself was fine but the biggest problem was the bedroom wall that separated our apartment from Trude's is so thin that you could hear every word as though the person were sitting right next to you. We were only there 2 nights and the second night was a nightmare. We had told Trude that we had to get up at 6 AM to catch a train. There was talking and hammering (some kind of project) that went on until 2 AM when my husband finally got up and went over to complain. The noise kept us awake in spite of both of us wearing ear plugs. The location is good, close to transit and Oslo is a beautiful city with many interesting attractions but it is clear that this apartment is not adequate for most people's comfort due to the noise factor.
