Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment

Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment on Kirkeveien, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building sits perfectly in the St. Hanshaugen district — honestly, one of Oslo’s most underrated neighborhoods if you ask me. It’s got this lovely residential vibe that feels authentically Norwegian, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. The entrance is clean and welcoming, and there’s something refreshing about staying in an actual apartment rather than another cookie-cutter hotel room.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — St. Hanshaugen is where locals actually live and hang out. You’ve got Majorstua metro station just a short walk away, which means you can zip into central Oslo in about ten minutes. But honestly, you might not want to leave the area that often. There are these great little cafes scattered around, and the whole district has this relaxed, tree-lined feel that’s perfect for morning walks. Couples seem to really get this place (the 8.8 location rating makes total sense), and I can see why — it’s intimate without being isolated.

Living Like a Local

The two-bedroom setup is actually brilliant, even if you’re just a couple traveling together. You get proper separation of spaces, which means one person can read while the other watches TV without anyone feeling cramped. The modern touches throughout the place feel thoughtful rather than flashy — everything works well and looks good without trying too hard. There’s a full kitchen that’s actually equipped for real cooking, not just reheating takeout. I mean, Norwegian grocery stores are fascinating, so why not grab some local ingredients and make dinner at home?

The Practical Stuff

What really impressed me was how well everything functioned. The WiFi is solid (crucial for staying connected), the heating works perfectly (trust me, you’ll appreciate this in Oslo), and there’s enough storage space that you can actually unpack your suitcase properly. The three-star rating might sound modest, but honestly, this place delivers way more comfort than some fancier hotels I’ve stayed in. Parking can be arranged if you’re driving, though I’d recommend just using public transport — it’s so efficient here that having a car feels unnecessary.

Why Guests Love It

That 8.9 guest rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — you can feel why people rate this place so highly the moment you settle in. It’s the kind of accommodation where you actually want to spend time relaxing rather than just crashing between sightseeing sessions. The combination of modern comfort with that authentic Oslo neighborhood feel is pretty special. You know what really seals the deal though? You’ll find yourself planning your next Oslo trip before you’ve even checked out, and that’s always the mark of a place that gets it right.

Oslo’s apartments welcome families with communal saunas, playrooms, and quick ferries to island beaches.

• Amada from Romania (9/10)

  The apartment is in an excellent location, with less than 3 min walk to the tram station, bus and less than 10 min to the metro and train. There are several non-stop shops that can be reached in a couple of minutes, plus a neighbourhood akin to a second city center which can be reached in 10 min on foot, with shops, restaurants, cafes etc. The city center can be reached in 15 min by trams which come at least every 10 min.
  The apartment is very well equipped (coffee machine, electric kettle, pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, stove, oven, washing machine, clothing iron, smart TV, stable WIFI). It was clean and tiny, warm and quiet. The beds were comfy and there are large wardrobes and extra bedding and towels if needed.
  The host was welcoming, accommodating and easily reached.

• Rob from Netherlands (9/10)

  De eigenaar communiceerde goed via de berichten met duidelijke instructies. Hij stond ons al op te wachten toen we aankwamen en regelde de parkeerplek bij het appartement. Hij liep daarna mee naar het appartement en legde alles duidelijk en rustig uit. Het appartement ziet er heel netjes en verzorgd uit. Toilet en badkamer van elkaar gescheiden. De keuken is volledig uitgerust qua apparatuur, middelen, servies en bestek en voor het nespresso apparaat waren voldoende starbucks capsules aanwezig. Er is overal vloerverwarming, waarbij de slaapkamer apart geregeld kan worden. Dicht bij het openbaar vervoer van bus, tram en metro. Een buurtsuper met vers brood zit om de hoek.

• Monica from Norway (9/10)

  Fin nyopppusset leilighet. Ble møtt av Morten ved ankomst. Han viste oss rundt i leiligheten. Veldig hyggelig husvert. Leiligheten var ren, gode senger. Kommer gjerne igjen.

• Rolf from Germany (8/10)

  Die FW liegt direkt an einer Bushaltestelle, die die Innenstadt anbindet. Auch eine kostenlose Parkkarte haben wir bekommen und ein Parkplatz war immer verfügbar.
