Aino and Jan’s house was very beautiful and her arts work is spectacular. It felt like we were living in an art gallery. Her house overlooks a highway and beautiful river. Great view from upper main bedroom with terrace . We didn’t use the terrace much due to traffic noise .
The highlight of our stay was definitely the sauna at Jan’s parents house which is around 15 mins drive. The setting of sauna by the river was magical and his parents were awesome.
During our stay, Aino was very responsive to our questions and needs. Thank you Aino and Jan for wonderful stay. Look forward to seeing you in Hawaii next year.
We had a wonderful time at Aino's and Jan's house. Aino's art in the house is super inspiring and everything was so warmly prepared for us. We loved the Norwegian raspberries, the Norwegian cheese, the homemade beer and just enjoyed BBQ so much in their beautiful garden in the most beautiful sunshine. A highlight of our trip was the time we were allowed to spend in the sauna. <3
We had great communication and even when we were "stuck" with the car in Oslo, they helped us. <3
What a beautiful home and such wonderful easygoing people! I am really happy we got to meet Aino and Jan - they were extremely accommodating and helpful. They even picked us up and dropped us off at the airport as it is not super easy to get to their home from Torp airport (would have been much easier from Oslo).
Their home is just too beautiful, filled with Aino's glass art, and as they told us - they did all the renovations in the house by themselves! Although it was cold outside, it was warm in the house even without tuning on the fireplace or additional radiators (which were available). I loved waking up with an open view of trees and hills
The house is situated in a small place, overlooking a river and hills, but close is Konberg, a bigger town with shopping malls and the usual stuff. We exchanged cars as well so we could freely explore the surroundings. Near the house, there is a local ski slope - small, with about 5 trails, but just enough for everyone's taste, from beginner to expert level. We loved it!
We could also use/book a sauna that is located 15 minutes from the house, in their parent's house yard - this was also an amazing experience, especially with dipping in the frozen river afterward.
The whole stay was just perfect and we would definitely go back and would love to meet Aino and Jan again.
💋❤️
Aino, family, and friends were wonderful guests at my villa. It was a pleasure arranging the exchange and planning their trip. I appreciated their curiosity about life in Bali. They treated my home and Balinese staff with great respect, care and everyone enjoyed their stay. I look forward to someday staying with them in Norway!
Aino and Jan left our apartment just perfect. You are always welcome back with us. <3
The pictures doesn’t do this place justice.
ITS MAGNIFICENT .
If your not into lots of traveling and adventure, staying at this place , eating in , getting massage , just relaxing this is the PERFECT place for you..,
The cook Wayan made the best food we had in Bali. Her husband Kadek drove us safely wherever we wanted safely.
Dreamplace.. I just want to go back.

It was such a pleasure to accommodate Tom and Nam Nam.
We had good communication all the way and they took excellent care of our home and car.
They are very sweet and appreciative people, and I can’t wait to meet them in person when we go to their place.

We just loved being in Michael and Nina’s big spacious apartment.
We couldn’t had a better place for exploring the city than their BOHO CHIC home in the middle of the town.
Our communication was perfect and they made sure we had everything to provide us an excellent stay.
Their coffee machine is to die for, and it provided us with the best coffee we’ve ever had.
They left our place spotless and shiny, and I would really recommend them, and their place to everyone who is interested in going to Wien.
We never actually met but our frequent communication made us feel like getting new friends. We hope to meet them in person one day.
