"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Oslo is to use online rental websites such as Finn.no or Hybel.no. These websites allow you to search for rental properties in Oslo and the surrounding areas. You can also use the search filters to narrow down your search to find the perfect place for you. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Oslo. They can provide you with more information about the rental market in the city and help you find the perfect place to live," explained one expat living in Oslo, Norway.

"We live in the center of Oslo because it is close to the train and bus stations for us to get to work- it also has a great balcony. We also wanted two large bedrooms, and a w/d in the flat which can be tricky to find in older flats," said another expat in Oslo, Norway.
