Minimally equipped but adequate kitchen for short stay. Washer/dryer a plus for longer stay. Very comfortable two bedroom apartment. Convenient location.

The booking office and apartment are both very close to the Central Railway station. Quick and easy to find from the airport train. The apartment is modern and comfortable with everything you need for a short break in Oslo. Our visit coincided with the hottest May weather since 1947, so it got very hot in the 8th floor apartment - no aircon - I imagine it isn't needed very often. The location is close to the new barcode district and an easy walk into the city centre and down to the harbour. Also in a great area for lots of ethnic restaurants and supermarkets. Restaurants to recommend are La Villa Restaurant (Turkish) and Punjab Tandoori (Indian). The fresh fruit in these supermarkets is fresh, tasty and much cheaper than conventional supermarkets. The Gronland Gym is good for a drink, located on a local square with lots of kids playing. A boat trip out on the Oslo Fjord is a must - spectacular scenery. Also recommended in good weather are the 50m outdoor pools and diving pool at Frogenbadet - a short tram ride out to the leafy western suburbs. More centrally, lovely gardens in the grounds of the Royal Palace where relaxing on the grass by one of the lakes is completely normal. We will definitely be returning to Norway.

First off I want to say that the staff of the apartments were very nice and accommodating of our complex schedule. The apartment was centrally located, spotlessly clean and safe. But it was so odd. Only one pillow on a double bed, no soap, shampoo or bath products of any kind, no paper towels, only one spare roll of toilet paper. When we arrived, the battery was chirping in the smoke detector and because it was late all we could do was run down to the little grocery downstairs and buy a new battery ourselves so it wouldn`t keep us up all night! There was a washer in the bathroom, which seemed great until we realized there was no place to plug it in. It took us an hour to figure out how to use the cable. The trash and recycling situation was ridiculously complicated. It just felt like they hadn`t really thought through the renters` needs.
