We stayed two nights in a studio unit. While it was small, the unit was clean, quiet and comfortable. They were great about letting us store our luggage which was delivered before we arrived. Communication was excellent prior to our arrival. Having a washer and drying rack was a bonus. Having to make our bed upon arrival was unexpected as we have never experienced that before. The location was about a 10-15 minute walk from the ferry so it was pretty convenient.

Great location and very convenient for exploring Bergen. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and within walking distance of Bryggen, restaurants, shops, and public transport. Check-in was easy and the area felt safe and quiet at night. Perfect base for visiting Bergen and taking day trips. Overall a very good stay and would recommend it.

Great apartment in a quiet neighbourhood, had everything we needed. Easy access and communication with the hosts.

As others have said, there are narrow stairs and you have to make your own beds, but this is clearly stated in all information so it was not a surprise and nor did we find it a problem! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it as a base for a few days of exploring Bergen.

Great location and great communication. The apartment was new and well equipped. However, a cleaning fee was charged but you have to make and strip your bed, and the shower had black mold in the corners.

Avoid this property. We loved Bergen, but this apartment was a let down. Listed as appropriate for 4 adults the property had a broken pull-out couch and managers were unwilling to fix or move us when we brought it to their attention. They told us rudely that we’d just have to deal with it. If you want a single bed, then this might be fine but for any more people you should look elsewhere.

Great location

A nice, clean room in a great location. We booked a studio—be aware that the double bed is accessible only on one side and has no nightstands because the room is so small.

I had an excellent stay here. The apartment was very clean and tidy when I arrived and had all the conveniences one would need for an extended stay. It was out of the way of the high foot traffic areas but was a 6 minute walk to the city center. I would highly recommend it to others.

Not what we expected

Stairs were DANGEROUS to move luggages up and down. No shampoo or conditioner provided. Only washer. No dryer. Hair from previous people were everywhere, especially on the couch. Even if you request first floor, you get what you get. So beware.

Very nice property. Cons: Not sure if taking care of the property was listed with booking. I always try to be respectful and leave property that I stayed nice and clean but I was surprised that I have to put in bed linens myself, taking them off (and put them in the bathroom) and empty trash before I leave. With extra charges for additional cleaning and other rules felt somewhat intimidating that I was unable to relax completely

Me and my husband came here for our honeymoon and it lived up to our expectations. The apartment was great with lots of amazing views and was only a short walk to the city centre. We had a late flight back so was able to store our luggage safety too. We will definitely visit again and we can not wait.

This was a perfect apartment for a 3 night stay, not too far away from the main town, probably a 10 minute walk. Couple of good restaurants close by.

What we found quite strange was the fact that we were asked to make our own beds - as well as strip the beds on our departure?! The rental charge supposed includes a cleaning fee, so I have no idea why you have to do this for them.

Liked the location. Did NOT like the impossibly steep stairs that are dangerous. If you are over 35 years of age do NOT select room up stairs. Upstairs rooms are for mountain goats!! Trying to manage a suitcase up and down these stairs was tricky at best and downright dangerous at worst.

Perfect place in Bergen

Absolutely fantastic apartment for a stay in Bergen - great location in a beautiful and quiet area near the centre, clean and very well equipped (we did not struggle to cook here unlike in many other apartments we have stayed in) and the communication from the host was excellent. The list of recommendations for things to do/places to eat were also fantastic and made our stay even better. Really stylish and comfortable flat - we did not want to leave!

Lovely stay

Enjoyed our stay in the apartment for 2 nights. Very useful to have facilities such as a washing machine and a place to store and prepare food- a cheaper and convenient alternative to going out to eat every night after a long day exploring. Lovely clean apartment and very homely. Appreciated the local recommendation list too. Very steep stairs up to flat for awareness of others, but not a problem if your mobility is good. Thank you :)

Absolutely super stay - just a couple of things...

We hired 3 separate apartments of different sizes - the separate entrances for different apartments on different streets were a bit of a surprise and a bit awkward with 1 group together but manageable all the same - it might not suit a family with children however so to be aware. The stairs up to our 2 smaller apartments are the narrowest steepest stairs I have ever encountered anywhere in my entire life - you have to be very very careful coming down especially if carrying luggage. However apart from these 2 things - absolutely brilliant - fautless, flawless - good location, would use again.

Comfortable modern apartments

Clean, modern apartments and nicely styled. Good email communication. Street itself is a bit average but walking distance to everything. Steep stairs to higher floors, might be difficult for some people, but ground floor apartments are easy. The only major negative which unfortunately has lowered my rating is the fact that you must put on the bedsheets yourself and then remove them at the end of the stay. This unheard of in any serviced apartment or hotel, and I've certainly never seen it before in 2 decades of travelling globally. Nowhere else asks this of the guests.
A cleaning fee is already incorporated into the charge so can't understand why they make the guests do this.

Great location and nicely presented apartment. Communication from the host was effective although outlined a lot of conditions and rules which takes away a little bit of the pleasure of staying somewhere. Would have been nice if the beds were made, instead you have to do your own bedding. Equally the bedding was very cheap linen and made us sweat a lot in the night. Then followed by a checklist for check out - stripping the beds and placing in a certain place, removing the rubbish etc… with a cleaning charge you would expect some of this to be done for you.

Lethal stairs but great apartment

Lovely apartment. But very steep and dangerous stairs up to entrance on first floor. Not recommended for people with mobility issues. No handrail on stairs - I ended up at emergency doctor with concussion after falling down stairs. Manager promised to get handrail installed, but check this before you book.

L’alloggio e’ in una zona tranquilla a meno di 10 minuti a piedi dalle maggiori attrazioni di Bergen. Noi eravamo in un bilocale e purtroppo le foto dell’annuncio si riferiscono al complesso degli appartamenti di quella struttura e sono un po’ fuorvianti in relazione alle reali dimensioni del bilocale. Le condizioni di pulizia dell’alloggio sono forse l’aspetto più deludente del soggiorno.
