Welcome to the “City center flat w roof top terrace & free parking,” a charming 3-star accommodation nestled in the vibrant district of Gamle Oslo. Located at 12 Mandalls gate 7-8, this delightful property offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and authentic Norwegian hospitality in the heart of Oslo. With an impressive guest rating of 8.8, this highly-regarded establishment has consistently delighted visitors with its exceptional service and amenities. Situated in the historic Gamle Oslo (Old Oslo) neighborhood, this centrally located flat provides an ideal base for exploring Norway’s captivating capital city, placing you just moments away from cultural landmarks, shopping districts, and the picturesque Oslo Fjord.
The City center flat distinguishes itself among Oslo accommodations with its coveted combination of central location and rare amenities like free parking—a significant advantage in a city where parking can be both scarce and expensive. Perhaps the crown jewel of this property is the stunning roof top terrace, offering guests a private urban oasis where they can unwind after a day of sightseeing while enjoying panoramic views of Oslo’s distinctive skyline. From this vantage point, you can appreciate the unique architectural blend of historic and modern buildings that characterize the city, perhaps while savoring a traditional Norwegian beverage as the sun sets over the fjord. The flat’s location in Gamle Oslo places you in one of the city’s most fascinating districts, where medieval ruins stand alongside contemporary developments, telling the story of Oslo’s evolution through the centuries. Within walking distance, you’ll discover attractions such as the Oslo Opera House with its iconic sloped roof that invites visitors to walk up to its summit, the vibrant Grønland area with its diverse culinary scene, and the Munch Museum showcasing works by Norway’s most famous painter.
This well-appointed city center accommodation combines the independence of apartment-style living with the quality standards of a 3-star hotel. The excellent 8.8 rating reflects guests’ satisfaction with the property’s cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful amenities. Inside, you’ll find a space that embodies Scandinavian design principles—functional, uncluttered, and aesthetically pleasing with touches of Norwegian character. The flat serves as both a comfortable retreat and a practical headquarters for your Oslo adventures. After exploring Oslo’s museums, parks, and historic sites, you can return to your centrally located haven, perhaps to prepare a meal using fresh ingredients from nearby markets, or simply to relax before heading out to experience Oslo’s evening entertainment. The free parking provision means you can easily combine city exploration with day trips to surrounding natural attractions like the forests of Nordmarka or the islands of the Oslo Fjord. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, as a solo traveler, couple, or family, the City center flat w roof top terrace & free parking offers a welcoming, well-rated, and ideally situated home away from home in the heart of Norway’s dynamic capital.

Florence from Netherlands (8/10)
Good location, 15 – 20 min walk to center. Good size of the apartment and the back office support was responsive and helpful. Spacious living room, dining room and full kitchen. Supermarket is just downstairs, very convenient as well. We didn’t use the roof top but it was very nice to spend time if weather is nice

Lisa from United States (10/10)
The host is very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Gave us excellent advice about quickest way to get to the apartment once we arrived at the train station. The location of this apartment is perfect for sightseeing. Very close to train and bus stations, city center location. Great restaurants and coffee nearby, including an excellent cafe with friendly staff, excellent coffee and pastries right downstairs. There is a grocery store within the same block as the apartment so made it easy to pick up provisions. The apartment kitchen is stocked with basics like spices, etc. which was very helpful.
