1 room room of 10 m² in Oslo

Hello there, I'm Abel, a 37-year-old Aussie turned Oslo local, courtesy of my continuing academic and professional journey here in Norway. Currently I find myself teaching future designers at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, where we dream up sustainable futures together. I'm on the lookout for someone to share a classic 2 bedroom apartment with, nestled in the heart of Grunnerlokka, right on the southern edge of Birkelunden park. This gem of a place is a stone's throw from everything you could need - 5 minutes to the Akerselva River for your green fix, a brisk 10-minute walk to central locales, 15 minutes to Oslo S, and just 3 minutes from the 11, 12, and 18 trams. Despite its central location, the apartment offers a haven of tranquility, with your future bedroom overlooking a serene courtyard, ensuring peaceful slumbers. The room awaits your personal touch, unfurnished, but with an option to acquire what you see. A high-quality stereo with Google Chromecast audio ensures good vibes are never in short supply here. About me? I'm a conversationalist at heart, fueled by good food and the quest for systemic change. When not exploring the sounds of the city or soaking up nature by the Akerselva or in the marka (forests) for a campfire or silent disco adventure, I'm likely hosting a small gathering, savoring the local café culture, or unwinding in a cozy bar. I enjoy a blend of the social and serene – from baking bread and brewing cider to foraging and advocating for a world less consumed by consumption. I'm seeking a mature, professional individual who relishes good food, thoughtful conversations, and an active community life, yet appreciates the balance between social interaction and personal space. No forced chats here, but I do enjoy a home that's alive with more than just the hum of appliances. Here's the deal: Rent is 8999 kr monthly, inclusive of water and internet, with electricity separately tallied every three months (The average for whole 2024 was 500 per month per person), deposit is 3 months rent. I cherish a clean, organized space, ensuring the home is always a sanctuary for comfort and creativity. If you're someone who values tidiness and a harmonious living environment, you'll fit right in. And just a heads up, I'm in the middle of greening up the place with more plants now that they won't turn into icicles on the way home, and I'm keen to sprinkle the walls with some cool art and pics. No stress, but this place is as much yours to shape as it is mine. Got some funky plant babies or art that you think could add to the vibe? Awesome. If not, no worries at all. It's all about making this space feel like home for you also. Let's keep it chill and see how this place evolves. Curious? Let's make a connection! We're open to hosting viewing. To book a spot, send me a message with a snippet about yourself – your passions, what you're looking for in a home, or any questions you might have. I'm an open book. Cheers to new beginnings Abel
