Cozy little house with a sea view in Sandvika
Location location location... I wanted to stay in Sandvika, because my mother lived there for 20 years, so I am very familiar with the area and it feels like home. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and feels very private, yet is centrally located, and easy to walk around the area for hiking, shopping, bus/train transfers, and easy to use trains and bus to connect to anywhere quickly. We had everything we needed, and were comfy and cozy and made ourselves at home. Very comfy beds. As described, the sleeping loft has a low ceiling. My daughter is not very tall and is young and limber, and was quite happy up there, but you probably don't want someone too tall up there. Host is very responsive and clearly communicates. They live in the house next to the rental, but we never saw them in over a week, so the rental is very private. Beautiful view of the bay and lovely sunsets from the deck.

Sunny townhouse nearby Oslo
Communication with the host is very smooth and quick. The scenery around the accommodation is nice, and the amenities are very well equipped. It's near the end of the bus line, so transportation is good and the mart is close, so I highly recommend it.

Convenient and central in Oslo
Christoffer is a fantastic host! From the start he was very pro-active in his communication and very friendly yet professional. The instructions and directions to the apartment were very clear, which made getting the key and finding the place super easy peasy. Christoffer offered up lots of activities to do and restaurants to visit and also how to go about using public transport, which made everything a lot more relaxed for us, as it was our first time in Oslo. upon requesting if there was a possibility to use the couch as a bed, we arrived to the couch already made up. The apartment was super clean, close to multiple forms of Public Transport and in a quiet area as well. The instructions left for in the apartment itself were clear and even personalised (which was super cute!). Kitchen and other rooms were very well stocked. We didn't want for anything. We had a great time in the apartment and would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you for letting us stay in your fantastic home.

Workers or families, 2-5 guests. Big free parking
Availability and friendliness. We had a really good time. Highly recommended.

Apartment with garden and parking in central Oslo.
We had a great time at this flat. Two adults and three youngsters had plenty of space, the bedrooms are spacious and the beds are good. The neighborhood is beautiful and at the same time incredibly quiet and peaceful, no night noise here. Recommend pizza at Vesuvio nearby! Short walk to tram (we used line 17, 18 or 19). Easy check-in with a key box. The host gives clear instructions and also responds quickly to messages. Extra plus for letting us keep the apartment an hour longer on the day of check out! Would love to come back another time as well.

Natasha went above and beyond as a host when we had last minute travel issues. Great location and very quiet.

We loved what the Tomas and his family had done with the outdoor space. Lots of little areas to enjoy. Cabin was tidy and ready for us to enjoy from the moment we arrived. Tomas was very responsive and helpful.

Charming cabin by the sea
We had an amazing experience at the summer cabin in Hvitsten! The cabin is absolutely beautiful, in a perfect location that gave us peace and beautiful views. We, including our small family and dog, enjoyed ourselves for 4 nights and could not have been happier. The host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our inquiries. When we experienced some challenges with wifi, it was sorted out right away, which we really appreciated. All in all a delightful stay and we are already looking forward to returning. Highly recommended!

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.
