Forenom Apartments Sven Bruns Gate

For a first time in Oslo, this was a great place. Just a short walk from Nationaltheatret station, which passes in front of the Royal Palace, so you see your first sight in Norway from the off. There were three doors to the apartment building: first one was for the 300 series apartments, second for the 200 series and the third for the 100 series, which contained mine. A passcode was easier to keep track of and harder to lose than a physical key. The apartment was just big enough for the two of us, with plenty of storage and a kitchen with an oven, which we used to bake a frozen pizza that we got at a mini mart a few blocks away. The baking pan already had parchment paper on it. That was a nice touch. We cleaned up the place as best we could on the way out: squeegeed the bathroom floor, swept the bedroom/living room space and took our trash and recyclables to the bins out back. We even replaced the parchment paper on the baking pan in the oven. That's how encouraged we were after our stay here. Tourist sights and the main shopping/dining avenue are just a few minutes walk and there's a tram stop just around the corner from the apartment building for points beyond. This is definitely the place to stay in when visiting Oslo.
