The apartment is close to the city centre which is super convenient. The owner was super friendly told us a bit about himself and explained everything really well. I honestly wouldn’t have wanted any other property. It had amazing views and best of all we were lucky enough to see the northern lights perfectly. I had been on two previous tours trying to catch them spending over £400 and in the end I didn’t even need to leave my apartment XD. Highly recommended this place to anyone staying in Tromso.

“would love to stay here again given the chance.”
the awesome view. how cozy it was. how an extra heater was provided so we could utilise it during our stay. how near it was to walk to supermarkets and the town centre, where we could enjoy the christmas market and do some souvenir shopping.

Our stay was absolutely perfect – we spent two very comfortable nights here and truly enjoyed every moment. The host was incredibly kind, providing helpful recommendations about the surrounding neighborhood. There were also clear and detailed instructions in the room, which made everything so easy. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and several supermarkets were just around the corner. The location is also ideal – just a short walk to the meeting point for local tours, and right next to a beautiful bridge with stunning views. We were especially grateful that, despite our early flight arrival, the host kindly allowed us to check in 40 minutes earlier, which helped us a lot even with the limited time. The bus stop right outside the building made getting around super convenient. Overall, this was an amazing stay with great value. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality – we hope to return again soon!

“Great location with everything you need and very helpful hosts.”
This apartment was warm, cosy and very comfortable with wonderful views of Tromsø and the surrounding mountains. Vervet is a lovely area of Tromsø with a wonderful bakery and great places to eat, just a 10 minutes walk from the centre of town along the waterfront. Our hosts were very helpful and flexible, even when our bus was very late due to bad weather. They met us nearby and showed us around the apartment and surrounding area. We hope to return in the summer and would love to stay here again.

The penthouse apartment is very elegant in equipment, comfortable in environment, and the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is beautiful! Our family of three was very satisfied with our stay. The double bed in the room and the sofa bed in the living room were both comfortable to sleep in. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bathroom was clean and new, and the hot water supply was sufficient. When traveling to Tromso, it is highly recommended to stay in this penthouse apartment!

Host was amazing we came to stay for New Years Eve but had to leave the next day. The rooftop was superb, you're able to see the whole city panoramic view of the mountain and fireworks, we even got to catch some northern lights on the rooftop. The host came to personally meet and greet us and gave us the key, he also explained very carefully how to get to the property etc. amazing host, super friendly and super reachable at all times if you had any questions. The host is a Doctor and an ERF rescuer , amazing guy !

“Probably the best place to stay in Tromsø”
After staying there for 8 nights, we are trying hard but cannot imagine any better accommodations in Tromsø. The location is quite perfect with great restaurants and cafés right next door, the harbour and city centre with many more around the corner, and a bus stop for the excellent public transportation close-by as well. Within the brand-new Vervet complex, this apartment might have one of the best possible locations right on the uppermost floor with a great view to the south over the opposite buildings towards the harbour. While the bedroom is only slightly bigger than the bed itself (which is of the most comfortable kind and we slept like babies), this did not bother us at all as it is more than sufficient for its primary purpose (and some others) and the rest of the apartment is actually quite spacious with more than enough room for clothes, shoes, and luggage. The kitchen is extraordinarily well-equipped and offers a big, round dinner table. As the living room is really cosy with two comfortable sofas, a small desk, and a state-of-the-art Smart TV with good sound system (you can use your own Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon Prime accounts), we have been most comfortable spending quite some time relaxing inside during those two days with awfully bad weather. Besides the small balcony adjacent to the living area, there is a huge rooftop patio on the same floor which would be great for an outdoor picnic during summer or watching the Northern Lights at night during winter. Most importantly, the photos shown online are not misleading in any way – everything looks exactly like this in reality with tasteful decoration and great lighting. The only thing even better than the apartment was our host Frode who greeted us personally on arrival, showed us around, and was a great and fun contact throughout our stay as well as afterwards. Unfortunately, we have not been able to meet Silje as well, but we will make up on that during our next stay as we will definitely come back!
