Family-friendly vacation rentals in Østensjø

We enjoyed our brief stay at Kristian’s apartment. It was a bit tricky to find the apartment and it’s up five sets of stairs (we left luggage in the car!) but we appreciated the thorough instructions Kristian gave us when he greeted us upon arrival (we weren’t used to meeting the host - that’s not really done in the US). Amenities were nice and we’d definitely stay again!

The cabin was in a beautiful location, with incredible views over the water. Everything in the cabin was easy to find and use. I'd definitely recommend hiring a car, so you can explore Holmsbu and nearby towns. When we had to message, both Ingunn and Hilde were very quick to respond. We booked the hot tub for our final night too, which I would definitely recommend. The locals are very friendly and helpful. And it was beautiful to see some snow too

Spent New Year here, fantastic views, very comfortable accomodation, well equipped if you chose to self cater, would recommend.

Marthe 's place was lovely. We stayed there for one week and we had a great time. Grocery stores and restaurants just one minute walk away. The subway station was also one minute away and the Central S station was about 5 minutes away. The bus stop to Bygdoy (museums) was about 2 minutes away. The neighborhood was very lively in the evenings with many people outside. We felt completely safe. The apartment itself was large and clean with funky art decorations, perfect for a family with enough space for everyone. The wifi was very fast. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace and enjoying the rooftop views. Marthe was very kind and communication was fast. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place. Thanks Marthe for everything.

We had a lovely time at Christoffer’s place, the apartment is well furnished and communication worked really well. The location is also nice and the neighborhood has lots to do and it’s easy to reach by public transport. We’d stay here again!

Lovely clean and safe apartment room- all amenities - great views actors the fields - very close safe parking

It was a wonderful 4 days in a cozy and comfortable house with all amenities. I haven't experienced a more friendly and helpful host before. The house is located in the suburbs of Oslo, next to a bus stop and a shop. All photos and description of the house fully correspond to reality. We felt at home and grateful for Anniken's generous hospitality. She was very prompt in answering any questions we had. We will remember this vacation for a long time and hope to come back again, but already in the summer ;)

Markus is a perfect host, his place is great and the location can't be better. Very highly recommended. Can't wait to be back.

Marte's place was beautiful--I personally really loved her decorative taste (and learned that I love Elsa Beskow and Alphonse Mucha). Aside from that, it was very clean and she communicated with us in advance about some construction that was going on at the property, which turned out to be fine for us. The neighborhood was quiet with some great restaurants and very easy access by bus from the city center. There was an outer door to the complex that got stuck at one point and Marte was very helpful and proactive in getting help for my husband to get back in. Overall she seemed laid-back, friendly, and cheerful. I highly recommend staying with this fantastic host. Thank you so much.

Perfect location, friendly host, great apartment with what's needed and then some 🌞 I'll be back for sure

We had a great time in the super equipped and large apartment in Oslo! The apartment is in a quiet area right next to a small park and is also not far from the city center. The communication with Anne was great: concerns on our site were responded to within a very short time! Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to have a nice and relaxing time in Oslo.

We returned happy and enjoyed our second Christmas Eve in the charming cottage. It's really peace and quiet here. Nice with new automatic lamps in the porch and in the toilet. Drinking water in the pump outside is great. The cabin heats easily and quickly with the wood-burning stove. Nice firewood at the cabin. The kitchen has everything you need. Cozy open living room/kitchen. Warm loft. Duvets/pillows for everyone and warm woolen blankets. Lots of candlesticks, so you can enjoy the dark hours as well. Nice food storage in the cold porch. Quiet area with beautiful nature. Easy to find and easy to check in. Sindre is on top of everything. Trash dumpsters a few miles from the cabin. Pure relaxation and pampering of the soul. Presence and no disturbance.

We enjoyed our stay at Kaja's home. She is a wonderful, helpful host, and was right next door during our stay, so if we needed something, she was close by. It was a comfortable place to stay during our Norway vacation. The home is spacious and welcoming.

We loved our stay! It was a great location to experience the tranquil countryside (especially in the snow! 🤩) Our children loved sledging etc and it felt like a home from home as well as being a 45min drive from Oslo. Lots of other places to explore from here too. The house is cosy and had everything we needed. The washing machine was very handy too! Thank you again for being such friendly hosts

Very nice and cozy place with a wonderful terrace, the house was fully equipped and very calm and clean The amenities were excellent - the kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials, the living area was warm and inviting with a beautiful fireplace, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The host was very helpful and always ready to answer to any question. He was very welcoming It feels like a true home away from home, would definitely reccomend to stay here!!!

Great location right on the tram line and not too far from Central Station lots of restaurants coffee shops and supermarkets available. a Also the number 16 busstop to Bryggen and the museum is 2 minutes away. Alfonso very friendly and helpful kitchen items available to cook. Bed was very comfortable, great lounge, big TV with Netflix and good size bathroom including washing machine. Note it is on 4th floor so you need to carry your luggage up the stairs which wasn't a problem for us. Stairwell is a bit older but apartment is modern and very warm. As it is a loft there is reduced head height in Kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

We had such a wonderful stay here. The house is stunning, had everything we could need and the hosts were lovely. They helped with local recommendations as well as making sure we had all the information we needed for the house. Not to mention the gift of some mixture for us to make traditional waffles! The train station is just a few minutes' walk. The kids particularly loved the pool and table tennis table, and I really enjoyed the beautiful walks that are possible from the property. All in all a five star stay.

Beautiful apartment with fantastic view overlooking the harbour area. Easy walk to Opera House, and then into town. Great communication from hosts and flexibility with check-in when our flight was cancelled. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Apartment in an awesome and stylish neighborhood right by the water, lots of restaurants and close by Munch, national theatre, the train station and the city. Would definitely love to come back soon. Don’t miss the public sauna by the sea - great experience 💯 Contact with Kevin was super fast and easy, very friendly and helpful host. 100 out of 100 💯

We were a large family group gathering for our first time in Oslo. The island location is gorgeous and the house is both beautiful and well suited to a family group. Catherine was proactive in getting our groceries delivered so we were comfortable despite no stores on the island. We also had free use of their boat which allowed us to arrange our schedule as we liked. Pacing with our large family group meant accounting for two shuttle trips to get all of us across to the mainland. The 31 bus line was close and frequent for getting us into Oslo. We bought a week pass but no one ever seemed to check the bus ticket. The house itself was well equipped with everything kitchen, fireplace and gorgeous outdoor space. It was a little cool and rainy for the pool but the hanging outdoor bed was a favorite spot to hang out.

Great host, great stay, exceeded expectations. We were really happy with the place, it had plenty of room and beds for our guests. There is room for 2-3 cars at front, could not hear any road noise so it was peaceful, plenty of bedding and everything felt clean and fresh. Kids loved using the trampoline and playing some of the many games that are around. Kitchen was well stocked with cutlery and everything you need. Iron and ironing board was handy as well as washing machine. Gym was a nice to have with TV whilst you work out. The host was really quick to respond when we had questions and they were very professional. Overall, we loved our stay here!

This home has a perfect location for exploring Oslo. It is well equipped with everything you need for cooking, and has toys for the kids to play with. It has fun decor and style and comfortable beds. Lots of space for our whole family. We didn’t end up using the pool, as it takes some effort to get the cover off and back on. We loved our stay here!
