What I love most about my apartment is that it is right by the beautiful forest, but still very close to the city center. I renovated the apartment when I moved in almost 2 years ago, and this is my favorite place to live in Oslo. In the winter when there is snow, I can put my cross country skis on right outside my door. In the summer it is so beautiful to take long walks in the forest, bike, and swim in the close by lakes. It is quiet, and all I usually hear is birds singing. When I feel like going downtown, the bus is just a few minutes away, and it takes around 20min to the city center. The bus goes all day and night very frequently.
The space
There is a back yard and since the apartment is on 1.floor, I have a latter from the balcony, so it is easy to go straight out. In the back yard there is a sitting group and a fireplace that can be used for barbecue. There is also a sand box and swing for kids.
Guest access
1.floor, just a few steps.
