About our home
The house is situated in a very quiet and child-friendly area close to both the city centre and recreational areas. It takes 12 minutes from the house to the city center by metro (metro-stop 150 meters away, 3 lines each 15 minutes during the day), and even shorter time by car.
The house has recently been refurbished, all 3 storeys, and is bigger and better than the photos display. Will update with new photos soon. The basement consists of a bedroom/living area with a fireplace, hall, storage and bathroom. 1'st floor consists of two large living rooms, kitchen (open solution), hall and bathroom. 2'nd floor consists of 3 bedrooms, linving room, hall and bathroom.
We have two large terraces, one facing west and the other facing south, and a garden area (750 square meters together). There's a king size trampoline in the back yard.
We also have a small cat that it would be perfect if you can look after.

Kurt's reviews
As a host (5)
“We had the pleasure of spending our summer holidays 2014 at Kurt and Helena's place who made us feel very welcome from the very beginning. We loved their wooden house which is in a very quiet and green area although just a few steps away from the metro to Oslo downtown. The house is very cozy and comfortable with a very nice backyard and a trampoline which our son enjoyed a lot. We also loved having dinner on their lovely terrace in the evening sun. The location gave us easy access to the beautiful Oslo fjord and the surrounding countryside and we enjoyed very much exploring the area. They also looked after our house and car wonderfully. A very happy exchange! Thanks again Kurt and Helena!”
“In July 2013 we exchanged house with Kurt and Helena - a very friendly couple with 2 children and a very nice, modern and child friendly house in a quiet neighbourhood close to the center of Oslo. The metro is only a couple of minutes away so it's very easy to get to the center of Oslo in no time. Kurt and Helena has a very nice and big terrace with a gas grill and sun in the evening. The trampoline was a smash hit for our son (and the father) :) We emailed and phoned Kurt and Helena before and during our stay and they were very open minded and helpful - they even watered our garden every day :) We strongly recommend an exchange with this family!”
“We visited Kurt and Helene\'s house in summer 2017 for about two weeks. All agreements in advance were very easy with Kurt, so we felt comfortable all the time. We were also in contact with them while staying there, whenever we had any questions. The house is located close to the Oslo City Center, but also close to forests and lakes where you can hike or go swimming. So we did a good mix of both - City life and enjoying nature. In the house we found everything as described. Our children loved the trampoline, and we had a really good time. We cooked more and better than at any other home exchange in advance. We found everything we needed to do that in the well equipped kitchen, e.g. the gas bbq or the waffle iron... Back at home we found everything as we had left, so we can confirm Kurt and Helena treated very careful, just as their own. So if you are considering an home Exchange with Kurt and Helena, we can highly recommend it. Best wishes from Germany Alexander & Barbara”
“We loved the summer of 2015 to make an exchange with Kurt's family and Helena. His house was wonderful and very cozy with every comfort for a family with children. The neighborhood was quiet and nice, well connected to the historic center, with a metro station near the house. Norway found a beautiful country and highly recommended if you love nature. Family Kurt and Helen were very pleasant and attentive at all times. We had very good communication. It has been an unforgettable experience.”
More about us
-
We are a family of 4, with two boys aged 12 and 9. If possible, it would be perfect to exchange with another family with small kids.
Helena works in a bank, and Kurt is a pharmacist.
We've exchanged house 6 times before (Sydney, Aarhus, Antibes, Sevilla, Montpellier, Wollongong), and they've all been very successful.

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
We are close to a number of major shopping centres. There are all the facilities you expect in a big city and we're very central to everything Oslo has to offer. Oslo is also a great starting point for exploring the rest of the country.
Gardermoen, Rygge and Torp airport are all close to Oslo.
