This is my peaceful little corner in the city – a bright, cozy 1-bedroom apartment that’s perfect for working remotely, relaxing with a book, or enjoying slow mornings with coffee in the back yard.
And if you haven’t been to Bergen yet – you’re in for something special. Nestled between seven mountains and right by the fjords, Bergen is one of Norway’s most beautiful and historic cities. The old town is full of wooden houses and cobblestone streets, and Bryggen – the colorful UNESCO World Heritage site – tells the story of the city’s Hanseatic roots. You’ll find easy access to hikes, boat trips, and cozy cafés, often all in the same day. Whether you’re into nature, history, or just a scenic place to slow down, Bergen offers a bit of everything.
The apartment is about 50 m² and has everything you need to feel at home:
• A bedroom with a comfortable queen-size bed (160 cm) and blackout curtains for restful sleep
• A living room with a sofa, dining table, desk, and a Chromecast TV – perfect for both focus and downtime
• A kitchen that’s fully equipped, including a dishwasher, oven, and coffee maker
• A modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and a washing machine
• And a private backyard ideal for a quiet coffee time or BBQ
The area is quiet and residential, but you’re close to everything – supermarkets, cafés, parks, and public transport are all within walking distance. It’s easy to get into the city center, but also easy to stay in and enjoy the calm.
If you’re looking for a place that’s simple, clean, and thoughtfully put together with a real home feel I think you’ll enjoy staying here as much as I do living here.
