Guest Reviews

• Waleed (10/5): -
• Børre (9/5): Jeg skulle på forretningsreise i Porsgrunn, men alle hoteller i byen var fullbooket. Jeg lurte da på hva jeg skulle gjør -
• Aino (10/5): Kaunis ja kotoisa paikka. - Pidin kaikesta! Majoitus on ihana :)
• Kamila (10/5): -
• Crusita (8/5): perfekt boende för övernattning på vår mc-resa i södra norge - en mycket riklig frukost stod i kylen. fin, nyrenoverad källarlägenhet. sköna sängar knepig belysning, (inte klart??)
• sigvart (1/5): - Ingenting. vi ventet i 3 timer,men verten dukket aldri opp.lureri da vi hadde betalt.
• Marko (9/5): -
• massimo (10/5): -
• Bjørnar (10/5): -
• Ydstebø (8/5): Billig og grei overnatting - Veldig grei frokost og stor leilighet Sofaen i stuen hadde en hard madrass og kunne godt vært en stol eller to til.
• Jan Ivar (9/5): - Pent og funksjonelt. Godt utstyrt. Greit med parkeringsplass rett utenfor, på tomten.
• tianxiang (10/5): -
• Emanuel (10/5): Amazing value, we wish we had stayed longer! - The apartment seems very recently made so everything is very neat and clean. Very nice toilet space and also great to have all the necessary kitchen facilities and tools to make a small meal. You can tell the hosts really put care and attention to detail, the way they left breakfast prepared for us was very kind. Oh and there was a foot massage machine that was really fun to use! And of course, having the pool + firewood sauna available to use (and we got lucky with a sunny day!) makes for a great stay and great value for money. Location is in a nice and quiet residential neighbourhood, and although there's not much around, the nearby supermarket is still no more than a 15min walk away. Nothing in particular, loved it!
• Yovanna (10/5): I would 100 percent recommend this place! They know how to host and make us feel comfortable. - We absolutely loved this place! It was quiet, new and comfy/cozy. They left out snacks and breakfast for us. It was an amazing way to start our trip to Norway. Everything was super clean. Sad we didn't have time to try the pool or the sauna, we arrived to late.

• Jon (10/5): Digg leilighet, god stemning - Overnattet én natt og hadde det veldig bra. Nydelig privat leilighet. Alt rent og i orden, og stedet føltes rolig og avslappende, ikke langt fra sentrum… Likte spesielt godt badstuen, og det var også fint å kunne bruke uteområdet og sitte i sola. Bassenget så veldig innbydende ut i sesong. Nettopp oppusset det også! Behagelig innsjekk og god kommunikasjon med verten. Et sted jeg gjerne velger igjen til sommeren, selv om jeg kan godt komme tilbake om vinteren også :)
• Hilde (10/5): Nyoppusset fantastisk leilighet - Hadde et veldig fint opphold her. Leiligheten var ren, ryddig og komfortabel, og jeg sov godt uten å bli forstyrret av støy. Vertene var hyggelige og hjelpsomme, og innsjekk gikk enkelt og greit. Fikk nydelig kurv til frokost ❤️ Et rolig og behagelig sted å overnatte – jeg kommer gjerne tilbake. Ingenting ☺️
• Jonny (3/5): Ikke fotnøyd - Likte selve leligheten. Det var veldig lytt, vi hørte de spiste, bråkete når de gikk over gulvet, hørte bikkja bjeffe. Det var skittent på toalettskålen og hår i dusjen. Vi fant ut at vi kunne ikke være der pga skulle operere tidlig dagen etter og trengte søvn. Vi kanselerte og spurte om vi kunne kanselere 100% uten gebyr men fikk beskjed om at vi måtte kanselere gjennom booking.com. det prøvde jeg men det gikk ikke. Ikke fornøyd
• Allan (9/5): - Extremely nice and spacious basement apartment. Helpful owner. Breakfast was ok, but a few more options (e.g. juice, dark break, cheese) wouldn't hurt. Some constant noise from a fan or something, next door to the bed I think.
• Bernardo Augusto (10/5): -
• Silvia (9/5): Absolut empfehlenswert -
• Morten (10/5): Koste meg! - Stille og rolig. Sov veldig godt😊 Fikk også levert mat på døren til frokost de 2 morgenene jeg var der. Imponerende💪🏻
• Marit (10/5): Supert -
• Tatiana (10/5): Beautiful newly renovated apartment – best value in area! - I had a fantastic stay! The apartment feels completely new – modern bathroom, stylish kitchen and a very high standard throughout. Everything was spotless! The bed was very comfortable and the area is quiet, so i slept really well. The sauna was a wonderful bonus and made the stay even more relaxing. Considering the quality, comfort and facilities, this is honestly one of the best value apartments in the Grenland area. You get a lot for the price. The only small downside is that it’s not summer yet, so the garden isn’t green and the pool wasn’t open — but that just gives us a reason to come back in the warmer season! ++++ Easy check-in and friendly hosts. I would definitely stay here again.
• Galina (10/5): Totalt nyrenovert leilighet!! - Vi hadde et veldig fint opphold! Leiligheten er nylig totalrenovert med nytt bad og kjøkken, og alt fremstår moderne, rent og komfortabelt. Det merkes at det er høy standard og at det er lagt mye arbeid i oppussingen. Selv om bassenget ikke var åpent ennå, var saunaen helt fantastisk og gjorde oppholdet ekstra hyggelig. Komforten og fasilitetene gjør at man virkelig får slappet av. I tillegg er prisen veldig rimelig i forhold til kvaliteten man får. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!
• Roald (9/5): - Tv var veldig dårlig. Dårlig forbindelse.
• Eva (9/5): Veldig fint sted. Fine fasiliteter som man kan ta i bruk og en imøtekommende host. Strålende fornøyd -
• Tina (10/5): Comfortable and cozy apartment, perfect for a family stay - We had a really nice stay at the apartment. We liked the layout; there’s one bedroom in the main apartment, which is great for a couple, and then there’s a separate big room with a double bed, a single bed, and its own bathroom and shower. That layout works really well for a big family or a group of friends who want a bit of privacy from each other. There's also a sofa in the living room that can probably be turned into a bed if needed, so even more people can fit. The place was super clean, the beds were nicely made, and there were all the basic things you need (like laundry detergent, cleaning products, and soaps). It didn’t feel like we were staying in someone’s home, it felt more like a small hotel. Our older kids tried out the pool and really enjoyed it. The pool is on the main floor, so if there are other guests, you might be sharing the terrace there. But that we believe is normal, most hotel pools aren’t completely private either. We also had access to a shared area on the upper floor, which had a big aquarium and a massage chair. We have no complaints, just one small suggestion. Since the place works well for a big family (if having the whole basement like we had), it would be very helpful to have the option to rent a small baby package. Something like a baby travel bed and a changing mat to use on the floor would make things even easier for families with small kids.
• Anita (7/5): - Ren og fin leilighet, rolig område Ikke vindu på soverom, litt klaustrofobisk, men likevel god ventilasjon
• Erika (10/5): Loved it, we would come back! - Very cute room, it was so lovely. The pool was great!
• Heidi (10/5): Exceptional - A whole flat with everything one can and the experience of a local neighborhood with garden and all. My husband loved the massage chair and cat. The ceilings are rather low. Couldn’t do all my exercises but for that there was the garden.
• Elina (9/5): Great stay near Oslo with access to pool and sauna - Really well maintained and clean property with pool, sauna and massage chair. We rented apartment that was on the basement level and could access also common area on the ground floor with other guests. Apartment was fully equipped with everything one may need; the only thing that bedroom is very small. It was clearly visible that host has thought of many details around the house to make the stay enjoyable, for ex., bath robes and SPA slippers, also you can buy a swimsuit if needed. It was also great that we could heat up the sauna ourselves. And the pool was great! Two things could be changed - the shower mat should be replaced with a clean and fresh one - ours was dirty and looked more like a mat usually used at the main entrance. And, secondly, the suggestion to replace sauna hats with the title "russia", which could create unpleasant feelings for guests. If this is done, then next time i’m giving 10 out of 10. :)
• Grace (8/5): Very good - We had everything we needed in the apartment for our short stay, including cooking utensils and bonus for the washing machine!
• Oleg (8/5): Very good - all
• Marco (10/5): super - some coffee for free, sauna included. All clean. All comfortable. Everything was ok
• Galina (10/5): Great option for living - Thank you for the warm welcome in this family home to the kind hosts! It was so wonderful!! Modern kitchen area, you can cook food if you don't want to go to a restaurant. Market nearby. My room was equipped with everything you need for sleeping. The massage chair is a delight and it quickly restored me after the road. The ability to use the sauna is a big plus of staying in this place. You can heat it yourself or ask the owner of the house to heat it. There is also a swimming pool on the territory, which is open in the summer. There is a reason to come back again. Thank you very much👐
• Cristofer (10/5): A great stay with great host, I've already started recommending it for future stays to my colleagues and friends. - It is a great setup, with clean rooms and common areas. I stayed there with my daughter and our dog for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The kitchen and living rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The aquarium and massage chair were huge positives. I imagine the swimming pool is nice in summer too, although it obviously wasn't available in the winter. The bathroom and shower were also very clean and modern. Good parking options and an easy drive into town and beyond. Nothing to say I didn't like it, but might be worth mentioning that it's probably best if you have a car, since it's in a residential area. There are probably buses that can take you into town, but I had a car and there were good parking options so I didn't have to worry about that aspect at all.
• Celine (8/5): Very good - It’s beautiful… open and clean space .. good kitchen & bath .. Not so good bed ( for my back the madras’s is way to soft and the bed can be better ..
• Mary (8/5): Affordable pleasant stay in a city center. - It is a nice stay. Spacious basement accommodation, we got. Good location, for both with cars and those who love to walk. Pretty central. Owner is VERY thorough on giving check-in/out instructions, approachable & responsive. 👍👍 Nothing to dislike. We could somehow wish that floor wasn't too cold & that there's a kitchen roll. **Surely, JV could provide solutions, but We just didn't bother to ask.**😁
• Barbara (9/5): We had a comfortable one night stay. - Value for money for one night stay. Two families attended a one day sports activity in Skien Fritidsparken, 13 min drive is good enough for us. Some part of the house has been modernly renovated. We don’t mind the other old facility for a night of stay, as it is generally clean. Massage chair is appreciated. Parking is not a problem. Easy access to both main and lower apartment. Easy check out. I suggest to have a quick fix of the drain stopper of the bathroom’s sink at the lower apartment.
• Keenan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shrinivas (8/5): Very good - Everything was well maintained. Host was helpful in getting up the sauna ready for us .
• Asle (8/5): Very good -
• Libor (8/5): Very good - well equipped and convinient appartmet for 1-2 stay on travelling further to final destinaton in Norway All was good for the purpose of 1night stay
• Galina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Száva (10/5): Exceptional - Well equipped apartments; coffee machine, oven, microwave, washing machine, hair dryer, etc... Good internet, friendly host. Just great :)
• Garry (7/5): Good - Was all good No complaints
• Tomasz (10/5): Great apartment worth the price - Apartment is really well equipped. It has everything needed: kitchen with oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, bathroom with cosmetics, access to pool and sauna. Everything was clean. Very easy self-check in. Good location close to Torf airport. Everything was great
• Bogdan-mihail (2/5): not recommended at all - silent area - it is not a real booking accommodation, but a place to sleep like airbnb - the owner lives in the same house, on the next floor - it is not an apartment but a furnished basement; the bedroom is actually a box with a bed, there are no windows and when you get off the bed you hit the wall with your legs as there is very little space between bed and walls - cumbersome and faulty communication with the owner - the bathroom always smells of detergent because it is also the place where the customers' linens and towels are washed - at checkin you need to put yourself the linens and at checkout you need to take them off and put in the washing machine and start the program as 'instructed' by the owner - it is cold, you can't set your desired room temperature - also you need to take out the trash
