Houses in Oslo

Cozy part of house with view
I was there for 5 weeks. The view is very nice and you have your privacy. On foot you can get to a large shopping center quite quickly, there is everything your heart desires. In general, you can get by very well on foot. I didn't test the public transport. The host is very friendly and easy to talk to. He had offered to take me on a hike, which I also enjoyed. He gave plenty of tips on what to do in the area but also tips for longer trips. All in all, a very great 5 weeks.

Entire half of semi-detached house.
Spacious, well-equipped and decent apartment. Nice outdoor area with many seats. Nice and helpful host.

Panoramautsikt over Oslofjorden
Beautiful place with amazing view of Oslo fjord. I decided to choose this place to enjoy the view and Scandinavian atmosphere of the property with friends. And was quite satisfied. The place is very interesting and cozy, and you can look out the window for hours. The owner of Gard is responsive, with a good sense of humor and went to meet us when we needed it. Everyone loved living in the space. Thank you and welcome to Grad and his family 🤗

Family friendly | Free parking | EV charging
We traveled with our 1.5 years old baby and it was perfect! The apartment is in a gated building, which felt very secure. There is a ramp at the entrance of the building, and the elevator was big enough for our compact stroller. The Host kindly had a travel cot ready for our kid and they also left a high chair. Another high chair was also available for older kids. There is an open wardrobe right at the entrance of the apartment that was great to leave the stroller and/or suitcases, so they were not in the way. The bathroom is very spacious and the water pressure was great! The apartment is super bright, which we loved! Both bedrooms have blackout blinds, and the mattress was comfortable. Communication with the Hosts was very good, always responsive, friendly and helpful. This is heir family home, so it has a lot of personal touches. We would love to come back!

Bright and cosy apartment with a stunning garden
I had an incredible stay at Ida's place! Communication was quick and helpful and the apartment was sparkling clean and very comfortable. Location was perfect – close to public transportation and local attractions. I especially appreciated the small touches like the welcome snacks and a guide to nearby restaurants. I would definitely recommend Ida as a host and hope to stay again in the future!

Beautiful and cosy, central oslo
Beautiful ‘tiny’ home, felt just perfect for a short stay! Everything is so accessible via public transport, only a few minutes walk from bus stop and surrounded by stunning parks. Rannveig was extremely kind and chatty, provided us with lots of local recommendations for our stay in Oslo! Johan was always responsive to any questions or queries that we had. 5⭐️ for the heated bathroom floor!! We would definitely stay here again (just be cautious of the steep stairs to the bedroom lol) Thank you for your hospitality☺️

Lovely apartment in the heart of Grünerløkka!
We loved Karianne’s apartment. Perfect location in the heart of Grunerlokka, one block from the main street. Spacious, pleasant, quiet, sunny apartment, with lovely art on the walls. She left room for us to unpack and put away our clothes. Good instructions made check-in easy and she was flexible regarding our check-out. One of the best AirBnB experiences that we’ve had.

Cabin idyll 35 min from Oslo with private sandy beach
Great cabin in Ytre Enebakk with very many beds! Right on a private beach overlooking the lake Mjær. The cabin was exactly as pictured in the photos and as described in the listing. When we arrived, we especially noticed very new and clean bed linens placed on the beds. Also, there was prepared wood in the fire pit outside and gas tank ready on the gas grill. Great!

Your guide to Oslo
All About Oslo
Oslo is a perfect destination for outdoor lovers. The Norwegian capital is one of the greenest cities in the world — two-thirds of it are designated protected natural areas, and its bike-friendly city center is emulated throughout Europe. You can swim in the fjord right from the city center, or get lost in one of its massive city parks. The Oslo Harbour Promenade meshes nature with urban living, with converted warehouses and cultural institutions like the Norwegian Opera and Ballet just steps from the cool waters of Sørenga Beach, where locals take plunges on summer days.
Oslo is home to a number of historical buildings, including the Oslo Cathedral and the Nobel Peace Center, and there’s no shortage of world-class museums here. Take the ferry to Bygdøy, where you’ll find the Fram Museum of polar exploration, the Munch Museum, and the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, an open-air living museum.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Oslo
Thanks to its northerly latitude, Norway is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun. Even as far south as Oslo, the sun doesn’t set until around 11 p.m. at the end of June, which means that visitors head to this capital city from June to August to make the most of the longer days and the warmer temperatures. During fall and winter, temperatures dip below freezing, days are short and dark, and Oslo is blanketed in snow, a perfect time to visit museums or the Holmenkollen Ski Jump on the outskirts of the city, particularly during the Holmenkollen Ski Festival in March. At Christmas, the city is illuminated with holiday decorations and hosts several Christmas markets with food stalls, crafts, gifts, and all-ages entertainment.
Top things to do in Oslo
Vigeland Sculpture Park
This green urban oasis with a fountain at its heart contains 200 sculptures by a famous Norwegian artist that are made from bronze, granite, and cast iron. At the highest point in the park, you’ll find a staggering monolith, carved from one block of granite and standing 55 feet tall, that features 121 intertwined human figures clinging to one another.
Norwegian Museum of Cultural History
Take a journey back in time at this open-air living museum featuring 160 buildings from all over the country that have been reconstructed on site. It’s a fantastic spot for exploring the history of Norway, dating back as far as the 13th century with the Gol Stave Church, which has its own museum and exhibition halls showcasing Norwegian culture.
Oslo fjord cruise
Water is the reason Oslo was founded, and one of the best ways to see the city is from the fjord itself. A fjord cruise takes you around some of the many islands and bays and past the Dyna Lighthouse. You’ll catch great views along the shoreline of the city’s modern architecture of the Barcode Project in the city center, as well as the beaches on the Bygdøy peninsula.
