• Kathleen from Australia (10/10)

  All facets of our stay were excellent. Plenty of space to move around in the two level apartment. The location is a little out of town centre but is walkable. The immediate environment of Grunnerlokke is very cool. Plenty of choice for food etc. Kiwi Supermarket is within walking distance.
  Communication with hosts Tomas and Sara was prompt and very helpful.
  Extras like washing machine and toiletries were a bonus.
  Would definitely stay there again.

• Victoria from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Loved the apartment, such a well designed place and filled with light, as well as stunning views! Everything was provided that we required. Cot was provided and set up for us too.

• Kaston from United States (8/10)

  Beautiful views, good location for catching public transport and getting small groceries very easily, quiet neighborhood, beautiful patios, lots of nice bedding, very very clean, hosts were excellent at communicating. very easy check in directions. Our family of four highly recommend this place. (Note: the sofa has a trundle so makes a good choice for two kids, who then don't have to share the same bed. Trundle itself has springs, so is better for a smaller/lighter person.) Linens were immaculate, and so was bathroom.

• Meenakshi from Australia (8/10)

  The apartment is very light and bright and easily accessible with luggage. It's a really great size for a couple and the sofa was really comfortable – you wouldn't guess its a sofa bed. The location of this apartment was really good. Lots of food and shopping nearby and really easy to walk to the port and other areas of interest. The kitchen was really good to be able to use (supermarket is nearby) and the washing machine was also great to have. Also great to have Netflix. The views were really nice and with the windows open, there was great ventilation. And the neighbours were very friendly.
