Great apartment close to Royal Castle

La ubicación

La suciedad. Armarios de la habitación, de la cocina, del baño y las dos neveras estaban repletos de pertenencias de gente que parece vive allí de forma continua. Ropa, medicina, bebida, comida, artículos de aseo...Suciedad debajo de la cama, juguetes debajo del sofá. A penas había cubiertos, todos mezclados en un recipiente con tijeras, rascador de cabeza y demás utensilios. Las sábanas de la cama arrugadas, desgastadas y de color ocre, no invitaban a dormir ahi. De hecho dormí en el sofá que es de plástico y pude limpiar. Para usar el horno, super sucio y con mal olor debes sacar sartenes, cazuelas de barro, etc. Aunque es lo de menos para mí, la conexión a internet no funcionaba. Como digo la ubicación es inmejorable. Pero la suciedad y esa sensación de estar invadiendo el espacio de alguien que vive allí no creo que sea razonable aunque el alojamiento como digo tenga una ubicación excepcional y el precio sea competitivo. Pedí hacer el checkin antes puesto que llegaba a la ciudad a las siete y el checkin se debía hacer a las tres. Me dijeron que era imposible porque había que limpiar el apartamento y tampoco me dieron opción para dejar el equipaje mientras tanto. Si al menos hubiese recibido un trato más humano, simplemente pidiendo disculpas por el estado del apartamento no escribiria una reseña tan mala. Pero ni lo uno ni lo otro y recordándote el día antes que debes abandonar el apartamento antes de la hora límite que eran las once de la mañana. Lo siento por la gente que viva ahí, no debe ser agradable salir corriendo dejando todas tus pertenencias en un apartamento al que va a entrar un desconocido.

Beliggenhet.

Vanskelig å få kontakt med vert. Langt å hente nøkkel. Gammel mat i kjøleskapet. Fant aldri bestikk. Alt for høy pris.

It was terrible. We couldn't get into the apartment and found ourselves in a very difficult situation. The owner did not answer any messages or phone calls.

After booking the owner said "ups its not ready yet" now thats one way to loose 200 dollars.

The location of the apartment is hard to beat. It's in easy walking distance to the National Theater train station, as well as two tram stations. The furniture and open concept of the living room/kitchen/dining room were lovely. Really a good amount of space for the price. The host was nice and responsive over text chat.

It seems like the host actually lives here when it's not booked by a guest, and the cupboards and cabinets are full of her stuff, so there's not a lot of storage space for guests. There was also no personal check-in process to make us feel welcome and communicate what we were allowed to use and what we weren't.

We liked this place so much (after we'd figured out some of the tricks to checking in and using the space), that we booked it again. It was a great home-base in Oslo and allowed us to cook for ourselves and generally have a comfortable stay. The easy access to public transit is a huge win.

There was construction going on in the building while we were there, which was loud during the day. We could never figure out the panel heater, which was pumping out heat and wouldn't respond to the manual controls. It apparently needed an app to operate, which we didn't have. Clear instructions on how to adjust the heat would have been appreciated, but there was no human check-in or information book.

Good location, walk distance to the center, very nice little silent street,, friendly and effective owner, cl

(very minor) the flat is also used to store some owner's personal stuff, not a problem for a short stay like ours, to be considered if in need of a longer stay.

Good location, very welcoming host
