1 room room of 16 m² in Oslo

Welcome to our happy collective in the middle of Grünerløkka. We live in a cute little house in a “bygård” with a lot of charm and the added bonus of a tranquil garden, nestled in the heart of Grünerløkka. Our wonderful housemate Luis is moving on to a new adventure, and we're searching for an open-minded individual to take his place. Flexible Move-in Dates: Between October 21st and November 20th ------------------------- The room: The lovely room for rent is divided into two separate 8m^2 zones, located on the first floor with a beautiful view into the garden. Previously, one was used as bedroom, while the other room served as an office space, atelier or simply as living space. Of course, you can customise this entirely according to your own wishes. Furniture is included with the bonus of an additional wardrobe in front of the room - great for clothes and storage, so you can fully use the two room areas. We're an international group who value both community and personal space. The apartment is bright and spacious, with a shared living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The location is unbeatable, with everything Grünerløkka has to offer right outside the door. ------------------------- About the house: Our apartment is ideally located right at Olaf Ryes plass, a vibrant hub with a plethora of bars, cafés, and restaurants and shops. You'll also find unique thrift stores, charming parks, and the scenic Akerselva river just a stone's throw away. The central location provides easy access to many parts of Oslo. While we're in a bustling neighbourhood and the next tram stop is just 10m away from our gate, our house is tucked away in the backyard, ensuring a peaceful living environment, as no street noise reaches the garden. In the spring and summertime, our garden is our living room. We have two different seating areas, both perfect for nice evenings and BBQs. For the colder days coming, we also have a big and inviting living room upstairs with couches, TV and decorated with plenty of plants. Perfect for drinks or hanging out, we often watch films or series together here. Since WC and shower are separated, we never experienced troubles with waiting in line to shower or such in the mornings. The kitchen has been a nice place for hanging out and making food. The kitchen is fully equipped and a nice place where we spend time together and cook. We endeavour to keep it tidy and clean up after ourselves, while also trying to maintain a cleaning schedule for the house. Further, as we're constantly trying to improve this lovely home, you’re also very welcome to modify your room or any other space in the house. ------------------------- About us: Our collective is made up of working professionals and students and we like to see ourselves as very open minded and inclusive people. We're a happy and active international group who value each other's company and enjoy spending time together. However, we are respectful when it comes to other people’s privacy and their need to just spend time alone. Particular emphasis is placed on keeping the noise level low during the night, as everyone has a regular working routine to follow. We do like a good time with drinks and stuff together, but if you're looking for a party house, this is not the place for you :) You will be living with: David (28) from Asker, Norway is working as a Paramedic. He skates and takes a lot of pictures when it's warm outside, snowboards when it's snowy, and plays games or watches movies when it's bad weather. He is easy to talk to and always has an open ear when needed. Jan-Ole (29) from Germany is doing his PhD in Microbiology at UiO. He enjoys climbing/bouldering, snowboarding/Ski-touring, outdoor-activities of any kind or movie-nights and is always up for good conversations if he's not busy to be a good plant dad. His laughter will warm your heart every time. Kat (29) from Greece is studying Dramaturgy and has a deep love for the theatre. She's kind and open-minded and always happy to invite you to a play or dance performance. The best person if you want to explore the culture scene of Oslo. Stian (23) from Trondheim, Norway is a sociology student at UiO. Alongside his studies, he works in a (fancy) restaurant or as a location scout while pursuing a passion for acting and theatre. His open and curious personality always creates a joyful atmosphere. ------------------------- What we are looking for: We want to find someone who is mature, open minded and respectful. If you're interested in joining our home, send us a message where you write about yourself, your hobbies, if you have lived in a collective before and how long you could see yourself living here —we'd love to meet you! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
