Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment

Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment Overview

First Impressions

Staying at Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment felt like borrowing a friend’s really well-put-together Oslo flat — in the best possible way. The moment you walk in, it’s clear someone actually thought about how people live in a space, not just how it photographs. It’s modern without being cold, and there’s a warmth to it that a lot of apartments in this price range honestly miss. For a three-star stay, it punches well above its category.

Location & Neighborhood

Kirkeveien is one of those streets that locals actually use — trams running along it, bakeries and coffee spots dotted between the residential buildings, a real neighborhood feel rather than a tourist bubble. You’re in St. Hanshaugen, which is sort of the sweet spot of Oslo: close enough to the city center that nothing feels far, but quiet enough that you’re not dealing with late-night noise from the bar district. The Majorstuen metro and tram hub is just a short walk away, which means you can get basically anywhere in the city without thinking too hard about it. Couples especially seem to love this setup — and honestly, I get it, it’s the kind of area where an evening stroll actually goes somewhere interesting.

The Apartment

Two bedrooms makes a real difference — you’re not tripping over each other’s suitcases or negotiating bathroom time. The layout is sensible, the kitchen is properly equipped (not just a kettle and a microwave), and there’s enough living space to actually decompress after a day of walking around the city. I mean, it’s not a sprawling penthouse, but it’s genuinely comfortable and well-maintained. Little details like decent lighting and storage space show up in ways you only notice because they’re usually missing.

The Area After Dark

What I’d tell a friend specifically about this location is to walk down towards Vigelandsparken in the evening — it’s maybe fifteen minutes on foot and completely different when the day-trippers have gone home. There are some solid neighbourhood restaurants along Bogstadveien, which runs parallel and is worth exploring for dinner without the tourist markup. The area has a kind of relaxed, residential Oslo energy that you don’t always get when you’re staying somewhere more central. It’s the sort of place where you start to feel like you actually live there, even after just a couple of nights.

Why Guests Love It

The guest rating sits at 8.9, and honestly that tracks — it’s the kind of place that earns its score through consistency rather than flashy gestures. You’re getting a well-located, thoughtfully arranged apartment in one of Oslo’s more genuinely liveable neighbourhoods, which is worth more than it might sound when you’re actually navigating a city for a few days. Couples in particular tend to rate it highly, and it’s easy to see why — there’s a certain ease to the whole experience that makes a trip feel less like logistics and more like, well, a trip. If you’re after something that feels real rather than staged, Majorstua, charming and modern 2 bedroom apartment is a solid, no-regrets choice for Oslo.

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

  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.
