    It was so difficult to adjust the shower degrees! So I suffered only by hot water all the way !! The second night was better as my husband fixed it for me before I took showering

    Nice apartment! Nice decorating home with good residential districts Kitchen wares are great!

    Walking up the stairs with suitcases. Very small second bedroom and not enough fresh air but it seems that it is the same in all units or hotel rooms that we have stayed in.

    Very nicely presented. Full of light and close to the centre.

    There were some maintenance issues such as a faulty light, toilet flush buttons, and a damaged light shade, but nothing dramatic. More annoying was the small bedroom with a double bed sqeezed in and the lack of a wardrobe or even a place for the suitcase - just the floor. Also, there toaster shown in the listing was not there and the owner did not respond to my question about it.

    The floor heating was nice and the living space was good.

    Having to make and unmake beds. Not having simple supplies like shampoo, or oil, pepper, sugar, coffee, coffee machine filter papers as we booked based on that expectation. Stairs are quite steep.

    Nice centrally located apartment, short walk to station, port, old town and funicular, plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Reasonably well equipped kitchen. Although mentioned in other reviews, the only cooking supplies are those left by other travellers but detergent was supplied for both dish and clothes washers. Nice little balcony, place was quiet overnight and clean.

    A dryer would have been awesome. We could not find a drying rack which could have helped. Sour smell coming from the washing machine No parking was difficult as we did have a car while in Bergen.

    Having a larger space. Able to cook some meals. Grocery store around the corner. Washing machine!

    The beds were a bit uncomfortable (just a basic IKEA set up) and they wanted us to make them upon arrival. However, the owner said that up front so we knew to expect that.

    Walkable to the train/bus stations and downtown.

    Stairs to the third floor were narrow and steep, perhaps provide a photo. Only noise was from apartment above, that was quite loud at times from footsteps. The bed linen needs to be checked for tears and stains before being left for the guest to make the bed. No microwave.

    It was easy to walk around the city from there during the day. Had all the utensils etc you would need to cook, including oil. The unit was warm and cosy. Met my needs as a solo traveller.

    No lift and having to lug suitcases up and down 3 flights of very narrow stairs. No shower gel - not good when you arrive late after a long flight and all you want is a nice hot shower. Also fridge made a terrible noise all night which was very frustrating for the bedroom next to the kitchen !

    Close to most things

    The stairs were steep. We knew it was 3 floors up but very difficult to navigate with heavy suitcases The beds were not as stated and were uncomfortable. My travelling companion and I don’t share a double bed so expected the two singles as stated but they were pushed together with bedding only for a double. There was something wrong with the shower as the hot water quickly turned cold. We notified the owners so hopefully that was fixed. These issues were not dramatic and didn’t spoil our holiday but definitely need addressing in the information given in advance.

    It was clean. The washing machine was most welcome. The location was perfect. It was really nice to be given a Netflix account we could use.

    The beds should be made on arrival. Some of the lights flickered a lot so we couldn’t use them. There wasn’t a heater in every room.

    The location was really good and only a short walk from the bus and train station. We were a group of 9 and booked 2 apartments, when we arrived there was no key in the second key box, so I had to ring. They gave us the code to another key box for a similar apartment which was great. The apartment was really clean and the living area really big, some of the rooms were very small though. We had to make our own beds which was a bit annoying (I would expect this to have been done) There was cutlery plates bowls mugs glasses and cooking utensils. Also a coffee machine but no coffee. Overall was nice would stay again.

    Stairs steep and up 3 flights. Had oven but no oven mitt or tea towel to get hot items out of oven. No instructions for oven or dishwasher. Would prefer 2 pillows each. Shower needs good clean at bottom. Black mould that I cleaned off some before using. Did not reply to my sms messages when asking för oven mitt. Update numbers in room book as different from message. But both numbers no one replied. Suggest a mat on balcony that is for outdoor use as one there was like standing on a swamp.

    Great location, very handy to Central town. Easy to find. Nice and quiet. Cute balcony with views of two mountains. Nice lounge.
