Modern appartment in Asker (just outside of Oslo), in quiet surroundings. 5-10 min walk from the beach (Holmenskjæret & Hvalstrand). Close to Semsvann (Skaugum). 2 min walk from the grocery store. Close to the train station (15min train ride to Oslo City center). Close to IKEA. A perfect destination if you want to combine a trip with country- and city life. Outside the appartment is a school yard with soccer field and basket court. It is my private appartment with my personal belongings. Normally it is myself and my two children (14 years) who live here. I have the kids 50%. There is parking available outside. Entrance is from the back side (2nd floor), and I have a terracce facing the school yard (evening sun), and outside furniture at the entrance (back) with morning sun perfect for breakfast. I have 2-3 inflatable madrases that can be used if needed, but beds for 5. My daughters bed ("small double bed") is the typical 120cm bed, so if a grown up is sleeping there it is only suitable for 1. I would recommend a stay here if you are 5 people, that would like to have the ability to explore Oslo, without living there. We have lots of possibilities to play soccer or run or cycle just outside the door, and we are very close to the very popular and beautiful beach Hvalstreand and Holmenskjæret. Semsvann (by Skaugum) is also fantastic for a run, or an evening swim. Skaugumstoppen is also a very popular hike. If you have a car, this location is perfect. But the train station is also 12-15min walk away (Hvalstad station). Trains go into Oslo all the time. Bus is also an alternative. The appartment has a garage if needed. The appartment itself have everything you need and is refurbished August 2018. This appartment is normally NOT rented out, so you will find that most cabinets and closets are full. But I can make room in at least 2 of the bedrooms for storing your clothes. But the main bedroom the closet is smack full. ;o) We have very nice neighbours both below and above us. I am renting out this appartment as I am leaving for summer holiday, so I will not be present during your stay. But I am available on phone and email should there be anything. Since this year is special, I will most likely be in Norway, and probably not far away. My neighbourhood is a big schoolyard with lots of playground. It is rather quiet, but some kids play at the Basket court. Other then that the apartment is smack between beach and forest, and has everything you need for recreation. Beach, Forest, Grocery store and train station is all within walking distance. - Beach (5-10min walk) - Grocery store (3 min walk) - Forest (10 min walk) - Train station (10 min walk) For those of you with car, you have everything close. Oslo City Center is 15mins away (E18), and IKEA is also just 3mins away. Sandvika Storsenter (Scandinavias largest shopping mall is also just 5 mins away by car. However we do have a local shopping mall (Holmensenteret) even closer. I would also recommend Asker Center which is a lovely cosy little village with everything you need and a fun playground for kids.
