    What a lovely little house! It was cosy, warm, well-equipped and had everything we needed for a long weekend. There are frequent buses into the city center and a supermarket just around the corner, but it's also possible to walk by the waterfront or through the lovely old neighbourhood. The owners are helpful and sent us useful information ahead of our arrival. Would definitely stay again!

    Even if I was going to be really picky, I can not think of a single thing we didn't like. The house was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed.

    We absolutely LOVED our stay here. The house is absolutely delightful. It is so cosy and charming and we loved the history of it. We visited Bergen in the winter and so staying in such a cute and cosy house really added to our experience, as the house was part of our holiday as well rather than just being somewhere to sleep. We loved spending our days out sightseeing and then coming back to the house, warming up and getting cosy in the evenings. I could only dream of living somewhere as lovely as this! The house is small but it doesn't feel it because the space is so well thought out - it has everything you could possibly need without ever feeling cramped or cluttered. The house was really warm, the kitchen had loads of equipment and utensils and a good selection of tea/coffee and toiletries were provided. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was really hot and powerful. The TV has loads of channels! The hosts also provided us with lots of information about how to find the house, how to get in and other useful information like WiFi, where to empty the bins, how to get to the airport. They also offered us early check in without us even asking - we didn't arrive into Bergen early enough to use it, but it was a lovely gesture. I absolutely loved Bergen and can't wait to return, and will definitely stay here again when I do. I've stayed in a lot of different apartments and hotels through booking.com and this has absolutely been my favourite stay by far.

    Full of character, lovely comfy bedroom and bed.

    Good location, walkable to Bryggen but bus stop just outside if you need it. Handy to have Joker just around the corner. The house itself was amazing, comfortable, spacious, spotless clean and, indeed, very charming. Staying there was one of the best things out of our entire trip to Norway.

    Some night blinds would make the downstairs living area easier to sleep in.

    This heritage cottage is utterly charming and beautifully adapted for short stays. The kitchen and upstairs bedroom are well-equipped, and the sofa bed downstairs is very comfortable. The heating is very effective. The location is perfect - a short walk from central Bergen but also away from the city. We loved waterfront cafe Bod24 across the road and walking into the city along different backstreets.

    The front door can be tricky … if the lock fails keep persisting and lift the handle !! The staircase requires you to be nimble !!

    Beautiful old house circa 1770 in a lovely part of Bergen…. Except when raining. (always)… right on bus stop !! Walkable to centre and easy bus Would really recommend to get out of hustle and bustle, supermarket 30m away, and fully equipped kitchen …. Very handy in Norway to be able to eat in !! Owners very approachable and helpful. One bus train ticket 40k to airport from near front door ! 6 aud 4 euro !!

    There was quite loud music coming from a neighbouring house. Something to be aware of if you stay over a weekend.

    The house is lovely and beautifully decorated. It's great to be able to live (even only for a few days) in a typical old Bergen house. You can almost feel its history! The residential area where it is located is only a few minutes away by bus from the city centre. There are lots of buses that run frequently. The grocery shop next door was also very convenient. Inside the house there is all you need and it felt safe also for our 4 year old. It felt very cosy to come back here after exploring Bergen.

    Such a shame a large ugly building was ever allowed to be built in front of this historic house, but I suppose that keeps the house at a very reasonable price for Bergen.

    Our last stop after 2 months travelling. The hosts here have thought of everything their guests might possibly need and it was by far the best equipped place we have stayed in. Bed and sofa bed were both comfortable. There was a warning that the hot water tank capacity was small but 3 of us staying there had no problems with hot water supply. I felt the house had a very welcoming atmosphere and was great value.

    Nothing to dislike.☺️

    The privilege of being able to stay in a typical Bergen house dating from 1779. I was so glad I found it. The house was close to Bergen centre and there was a bus stop practically right outside. Accommodation was comfortable and warm. Well equipped kitchen. Joker local shop round the corner. We did not meet Praewa and Kim but they responded quickly to any questions and were incredibly helpful.
