Sunny loft with terrace close to city center Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Sunny loft with terrace close to city center on Sverdrups gate, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. It’s tucked into Grünerlokka — honestly one of Oslo’s most charming neighborhoods — and the building has that perfect blend of historic character and modern updates. The entrance doesn’t scream tourist trap, which I actually love. You feel like you’re staying somewhere locals would genuinely want to live.

The Space Itself

This four-star loft really delivers on the “sunny” promise in its name. The windows are generous, and when that Scandinavian light hits the space (especially in summer when it seems to last forever), the whole place just glows. The terrace is the real star though — it’s not huge, but it’s perfectly sized for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. I mean, having your own outdoor space in central Oslo? That’s pretty special. The apartment feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together, with a kitchen that’s actually functional if you want to grab groceries from the nearby markets.

Grünerlokka Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying in Grünerlokka — you’re close enough to walk to the main sights, but you’re also in this vibrant area that feels authentically Oslo. The Akerselva river runs right through the neighborhood, and there are these great walking paths if you need to stretch your legs. You’ve got vintage shops, cozy cafés, and some really solid restaurant options within a few blocks. It’s the kind of place where you’ll see families with strollers next to twenty-somethings heading to work, which gives you a real sense of how the city actually lives.

Getting Around

The location really is as good as advertised — recent guests consistently rave about it, and I can see why. You can walk to Karl Johans gate (the main pedestrian street) in about 15 minutes, or hop on public transport that connects you to pretty much anywhere you’d want to go. The Mathallen food hall is practically around the corner, which is perfect for picking up ingredients or just wandering around tasting things. Parking can be a bit tricky in this area, but honestly, you probably won’t need a car anyway.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both central and residential at the same time. Couples especially seem to connect with the vibe here — there’s something romantic about having your own little terrace overlooking this historic neighborhood. The room setup gives you space to actually relax rather than just crash between sightseeing sessions. You know what? Sometimes the best travel experiences happen when you find a place that doesn’t feel like a hotel at all, and this loft nails that feeling perfectly.
