Nice little place up on the hill side. Great stay nice owners
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
The unit was clean, and could be ideal for young couples. It is advertised as sleeping up to 8, but it is very small and tight, and really only fit for 4-5 people. It lacks basic things like towel racks or hooks, and bedside lamps. The stairs are very steep with no railing. Older adults should be aware that it is located on the side of the hill overlooking Bergen. It is a lovely neighborhood, and fun to walk down to Sentrum in the mornings, but the hike uphill is quite steep and difficult if you want to access your place multiple times during the day. Do not try to bring a lot of luggage to this place. Travel light, or use Uber when you first arrive.Communication was good, but we were disappointed with a few things that were not as promised, or lacked follow through. We never met the owner, so we suspect it is being managed by a company, not the owner. Overall, we managed to enjoy our stay in Bergen, but I don't think i would attempt to stay in this unit again.
