Absolutely brilliant city oasis in the middle of the new Biørvika district. Ideal for two people looking for a modern, contemporary and functional apartment. Extremely cozy atmosphere, Nordic design and everything top furnished from an optimal kitchen, terrace, bathroom with washing machine and bunk with comfortable large bed. Everything is central and within walking distance, mobility by public transport right outside the door, as well as the “swimming pool” in Sørenga... many great cafés and restaurants in a flourishing urban environment... you feel very comfortable and hyggelig.

We felt very comfortable. Despite the foggy weather, we were able to enjoy the view. It's very quiet and was very easy to unplug. The stressful everyday life was quickly forgotten.

Beautiful and central apartment

NatashaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed here as a family of 5. There was plenty of space - a bug double bed and a double sofa bed. The sofa bed is an L shape and the small arm is also there beside the double-bed for another short person if needed. The flat is really clean and very modern. It has everything you need - we have travelled a lot and this is the only time there was absolutely everything we needed right there and easy to find and use. The location is walkable to so many parts of Oslo. We did it all with 2 strollers and our autistic 9yr old who usually hates walking around. There's many restaurants and shops nearby but you can also order on Wolt for ddivery. You can walk here from the train station in just a few minutes. The aamenities at the flat are really above and beyond - you won't be disappointed if you pick to stay here.

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.
