Wright Apartments - Sørenga

Excellent locations and views, clean and spacious! Several nice restaurants in immediate surroundings. Great place for a few days in Oslo close to city but at the same time directly on the fjord. Easy check in and check out.

All in one shampoo, conditioner and body wash felt cheap. No wash clothes. Difficult to figure out how to stream from TV with the multitude of remote controls.

The location was excellent, close to everything. Apartment was nice sized, clean and modern

Dryer did not work

Nice view and reasonably convenient.

Coffee capsules should have been supplied if there is no French press or drip coffemaker. Most apartments where we have stayed supply milk and some snacks. We had to buy a box of 25 Nescafé capsules just for a three day stay. Also the unit was a bit hot. A fan would have been helpful.

The apartment is centrally located and easy to access from Oslo Central Station. We were able to walk to most places we wanted to see within a 30 minute stroll and frequently used Oslo Central Station - which was about a 15 minute walk - to explore greater Oslo. Also, the hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with, and had information on the flat easily accessible via a QR code on the keys.

We spent almost a month exploring Norway as a family of 4 and exclusively stayed in rentals through Booking.com. This is the only place we did not give 10 stars. The hosts were responsive to our questions but the apartment did not meet expectations for several reasons. First, while we expected this to be a more corporate rental, it lacked many of the minor things that make a stay easier for someone renting with a family. There were 3 bowls total, no oil/spices/sugar,/etc, no hot pads to use the oven. There were also no paper towels and no shampoo or conditioner (only a large hand soap). Second, the place is small, which is OK. However, there was so much furniture we couldn't move around in the apartment. The chairs were packed so tightly around the table that we had to lift the whole table to get one out. We ended up staking several chairs in the corner to make more space. With such a small space, it would be better to have less furniture. Also, it was difficult to know which apartment we were getting with the pictures online. Third, it wasn't as well cared for as other rentals we stayed at in Norway, with some yellowed pillows and dirty dishes in the cupboard. Finally, the biggest issue for us was the heat. The apartment was very hot. We opened windows but given the layout there was no cross breeze and open windows led to bugs and a lot of noise from the area, which is busy and has a a lot of construction. We asked about the heat and were told there were fans. We let the owners know heat was a continued problem and there were no fans, but communication stopped there. Ultimately, we struggled to sleep each night and did not enjoy spending time in the apartment.
