Liv's place was nice and clean, and although on a busy street, it was very quiet. The bus stops right next to the apartment and can take you straight to Oslo Central. From there you can go shopping in the two malls or in the many stores along Karl Johanns. Also, we took a short ferry ride to the vikingship museum. The ticket gets you into the Historical museum as well. If you buy the Oslo Pass for 72 hours, you can use all of Oslo's public transportation, including the ferry to the museums. We think it was worth the money.
There were plenty of dishes for us to cook for ourselves and there was a small grocery store 1 block away. We found two very nice coffee shops offering fresh baked breads within a 10 minute walk southwards. God Brød was the best in Oslo!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Liv's place and recommend it to others.
