Charming attic apartment by the sea - with fireplace and cozy living room

We enjoyed our five day stay here. The cottage was clean and neat and the kitchen was well equipped. We did have some difficulty finding it due to new construction and closed roads directly in front of the cottage. A lovely local woman hopped in our car and drove us around the neighborhood to help us find it. She also suggested a bakery and coffee shop a short walk away. We went there every day and it was wonderful. There is an Italian deli store next to the bakery where we bought food for one evening's meal. While we rented a car, the public transportation was excellent and we took the bus/train into Oslo. The owner speaks Lithuanian and Norwegian, but we were able to communicate as necessary. He brought us a lovely big bowl of fruit on our second evening there. There is a washer but no dryer, so if you plan to do laundry you will need to hang things to dry. I had to translate the settings from Norwegian to English which was easy to do and we used it several times. We walked past the construction to the sea each evening and there are steps and a path up from the rocky beach and through the woods. Really beautiful. One warning, the steps to the second floor, where most of the living space is, are a bit steep. We didn't have a problem with them, but this would definitely be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. The location is in a very safe residential area and the people were friendly and helpful. Lots to do in the surrounding area and about a 30 minute bus ride to Oslo.
