Drinks & Nightlife
Small, cosy bar with a candystore-theme. Awesome dancy/singalong 80s-, 90s- and 00s music and candy drinks. I believe mine is called 50/50. It is based on licorice.

Nationaltheatret station
Every single subway in Oslo goes through here. I use 7 minutes (fast) walking to reach it.
Most trains (and most of the trains who go to the airport) go through here. When you arrive here, make sure to walk to the western end of the platform and take the escalators to the western exit. This will save you about five minutes walking. When you are leaving the apartment, exit to the street, turn left and walk uphill to the roundabout. There you should see the western entrance to Nationaltheatret station.
