The city of Oslo was once ravaged by fiery waves of fire that threatened time and time again to erase the now populous capital of Norway from the world map. Shrouded by the gentle embrace of Mother Nature, silhouettes of blooming greenery that survived the bitter flames of the past are now entwined with sights of modern art, making Oslo a delightful contemporary paradise with a touch of organic beauty.

Check out these 12 Airbnb vacation rentals in Oslo, Norway with picturesque interior designs that promises comfort in style.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.

Cozy loft in Grünerløkka

Featuring wooded cathedral ceilings that extend towards the skylight, this warm Airbnb loft is big enough for a family of 4. Light up a merry fire when the weather gets cold, and escape to the outdoor veranda for a whiff of fresh air during the sunny summer seasons. Complete with soft cushions for you to prop yourself up on, spend your lazy afternoons with a book in hand. Equipped with basic kitchen facilities, whip up a feast for you and your kids in style. The jet-black furnishings are in stark contrast to the homey colors used in the living room of this holiday rental. Your new Airbnb home has one double bed and one single bed in two separate bedrooms, so take your pick! If there are more than 3 people, the cushy couch can be used as a makeshift bed, or you can request a portable bed.
