Oslo: Trade fair/business/holiday apartment

Close to kayaking, birdwatching, and more, this smoke-free apartment brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 10-minute walk to Bergisches Land Nature Park, or easily tackle the 19-minute drive to Cologne Trade Fair Grounds. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Leichlingen Station, a short 14-minute walk away.

Relax in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 947-sq-ft apartment. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include a living room, bed sheets, an ironing board, and heating.
