Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad the place worked perfectly for your group and that you enjoyed exploring the charming neighborhood. We'd love to welcome you back anytime! 😊
Great property in old Bergen. Perfectly put together. Great Host! Would revisit!!! Super easy to get in and out. Just need to make sure you know how to drive the old city.
The location is perfect for exploring Bergen. You can walk easily (it's uphill) from the train station, light rail stop, fish market, Mt Floyen funicular, tourist information center, Bryggen, etc. and it's a quiet residential area with charming buildings and cute streets to explore. Coffee shops, restaurants, and shops are all nearby as well. As for the house itself, it's very modern, comfortable, no clutter. The water pressure in the shower was great and the bed was SUPER comfortable. We enjoyed the space and it felt great to return to the house after long days out on our feet. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed both the location and the comfort of the home — it’s great to know it served as the perfect base for your Bergen adventures. We're especially happy that the cozy bed and refreshing shower made a difference after your long days out. Your recommendation means a lot, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!
For our first trip to Bergen and Norway we could not have chosen a more cozy and well-appointed spot. We loved being steps from Bryggen and downtown, and the neighborhood was charming. While you do need to be prepared to walk up and down hill to get to and from everything, the neighborhood feel and prime location made it worthwhile. We had a wonderful time.
Apartment was clean, updated, and modern. It had a lot of technology which was a little challenging at first. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit. The apartment is in a wonderful location in the Old City. The cobblestone streets leading up to the apartment were very hilly so may be difficult to navigate if you have mobility issues. The apartment is on two levels with spiral stairs. The neighborhood is very quiet. Jonas was such a kind host and checked in on us to see if we had any questions. Would stay here again if we return to Bergen. What a beautiful city!

Thank you for the lovely review. Glad the apartment was clean, updated, and that the in-unit washer/dryer was helpful. Sorry the tech took a little getting used to — we provide clear instructions and are available during stays to help. Good to hear the Old City location and quiet neighborhood worked well; we do note the steep cobblestone streets and the two-level layout with spiral stairs can be challenging for guests with mobility concerns. Our host checked in to make sure everything was OK. We’d be pleased to welcome you back if you return to Bergen.
Best regards,
Jonas
Very high tech house-maybe too high tech for tech challenged or old timers. Figured most of it eventually.
Checkin/ out times could be pushed an hour each way to be more in line with most hotels.
Early check in/out available for an extra fee
Very clean great location and communication throughout whole stay
