Sigurds gate 8
Very nice place. Small, but that was expected. Expensive, but that's Norway. Jonas was very responsive. Loved the area. Easy walk to the cruise port.

Dragesmauet Apartments
Apartment is very nice and as described. Communication with the owners is spotty at best. Even following the directions in the guest guide only resulted in one response to one question. When I enquired about an item left behind, there was no response at all.
