Paul from Australia (9/10)
Comfortable apartment in a modern suburb, ideally situated close to everything in Oslo. A helpful owner who assisted us with parking and getting our luggage info the apartment.
Tamila from Norway (9/10)
It was amazing! The apartment was new, stylish and comfortable. The flat had everything you need: dishes, glasses, dishwasher, washing machine, iron, hangers, towels, shampoo, soap. The location is fantastic. If you need hundreds of Instagram photos, this is the place for you. Close to shops, transport, restaurants, the beach. The only problem was that we took it for one night. You need to take it for a week and enjoy this wonderful place! P. S There is an Oslo Tree there
