House in Bergen, Norway.
A lovely spacious(270 m2) home and garden in Bergen, Norway. We have a heat pump, so the house is always nice and warm (23 degrees Celsius in the living-room, and 20 in bedrooms, higher or lower temperatures if you prefer that). Bergen is an old charming town containing the Unesco world heritage site "the warf of Bergen", and is called the Gateway to the Fjords.
Our house has a nice fjordview, is large (5 bedrooms, 270 m2), lies in a large and lovely garden (1700 m2) in a quiet dead end street within a quiet area. Our beds are flexible: Three double beds and two single beds can be transformed into eight single beds if preferred. Grocery stores and shopping centres are nearby, and you are only 12 minutes away from the centre of Bergen by car. The fjords and mountains are close in all directions. From our home you may walk in quiet streets with little traffic and reach woods, playgrounds, football courts, big trampolines, all free to use.
National Geographic describes the Norwegian fjord landscape as "amazing and aesthetically one of the most beautiful in the world. The icons of Norway are so unique that it is difficult to imagine anything else". Trails can be found in the ut.no app, with GPS tracking, but we also bring our best suggestions with maps. In addition to scenery, the fjords also offer opportunities like fjord cruise with classic boats, visting farms with fruit and local produce, family parks, hiking, walking on glaciers, visiting salmon farms and hydropower stations, kayaking...See https://hardangerfjord.com/en/

Cosy, warm and comfortable house in a quiet and shaded garden set in a beautiful landscape. Nice exchange partners, good communication.
Échange très agréable, bonne communication, annonce très conforme à la réalité. Pour aller à Bergen, n'hésitez pas à utiliser les transports en commun, très faciles à utiliser depuis la maison.
The house is very conveniently located outside Bergen with fjord views. Easy access to the mountains and the city. We used public transport mainly although the car was available. We also enjoyed looking after the chickens.
Cosy, warm and comfortable house set in a beautiful garden in a beautiful rural setting. Good communication with the family.
