Holiday rentals near Follo Museum

Long weekend with a group of friends. First trip to Oslo and we'd absolutely recommend it. Plenty to see and do, great food and friendly people. Apartment was great and Arne / Rune were really helpful with recommendations. Many thanks for a memorable visit!

The apartment was very clean and bright. It was also well equipped. It is located in Tjuvholmen, a modern but quiet part of Oslo. The neighbouring area of Aker Brygge is packed with restaurants and plenty of shopping including a small grocery store (a couple of minutes walk) and a supermarket. A short stroll along the traffic free boardwalk of Aker Brygge brings you to the stop for the 12 tram (Opera House, Munch Museum and Central Station) and the Sculpture Park in the opposite direction. Also, you can get a ferry to the Fram Museum. That ticked all the boxes for us. The host, Naoual, is a charming lady who was very helpful throughout or stay. Communication was always timely and accurate.

Fantastic stay in wonderful flat. Very efficiently organised. We were kept informed at all stages of the reservation. We were met at the property by Marcela who was extremely friendly and helpful. Property is close to fjord area with loads of restaurants etc. Could not have been any better

When we arrived at the property we were completely overwhelmed by how quaint the cottage was and how incredible the views are! The cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the basics we might need for our stay. Truls and Kare were the perfect hosts and it was a pleasure to have a chat with them. The property is ideally located (right by the bus stop) for easy access into Oslo city centre. We will definitely be visiting again and have highly recommended this property to our friends and family.

We stayed at Steinar and Riitta's apartment as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children boy aged 6 and girl aged 10) and have had the most amazing family holiday making lots of memories. As hosts, Steinar and Riitta are fabulous. Great communication from start to finish and it was great to know that in a unfamiliar country help was on hand if we needed it. We did not arrive at the apartment until the early hours of the morning due to airline delays, however the directions from Torp airport to the apartment made it easy to find and Riitta was waiting for us upon our arrival to show us around. Although it was a shame not to see the scenery as we drove to the aipartment due to it being very late at the night, the view that awaited us the following morning was breath-taking. The views across the Fjord are magnificent and the large windows in the apartment make it a really pleasurable experience just to sit and watch the world go by! The apartment itself was absolutely spot-on. There was everything you could possibly require including lots of English TV channels which made my boys happy as they were able to watch lots of English football!! The whole set up of the apartment was perfect - lots of space and great views - it made for a very relaxing holiday which was perfect. The outdoor area to the apartments is really well kept and very tidy. There are a few different parks for the children to play on and lots of different places to jump in the water and swim. Luckily we had great weather and my children made full use of the little beach areas and had a fabulous time in the water. It was teeming with sea life which I wasn't expecting. There are two supermarkets close by - a Coop and Kiwi. We used both but Kiwi mainly as it is walking distance and I felt is was cheaper than the Coop. Kiwi had a great selection of everything and the staff were lovely. The only thing we felt was missing was perhaps a little café/bar. There is one on the Marina but it never appeared to be open as we past. It was not however a massive problem but the complex of apartments is definitely big enough to warrant one. We found the apartment a great base to explore the incredibly beautiful place Norway is and I don't think I have ever appreciated how relaxing water is. To drive the coastal road to Drammen, although longer than taking the motorway, was a pleasure in itself - so pretty. We would return to the apartment in a heartbeat and I would recommend it to anyone.

I was there for a few days but wish it could have been more. It was ideal having a bus stop right next to the property. You can get into Oslo easily and from there go wherever. Apartment is ideal for a couple or small family.
