We live in a bright, centrally located apartment near the Freia chocolate factory and Sofienberg Park, with easy access to buses and trams. Grünerløkka is one of Oslo’s most vibrant neighborhoods, filled with cozy cafés, great restaurants, and a creative, laid-back atmosphere. You’ll find everything from classic Norwegian dishes to international flavors just around the corner.
For outdoor lovers, there are fantastic hiking and walking trails nearby. A stroll along the Akerselva River leads to Maridalsvannet, while Oslomarka offers endless opportunities for nature adventures. We love discovering new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures—and we’re excited to share our home with fellow travelers!
