City Housing was a short distance from Stavanger central. But don't be put off as there are regular buses and trains going between Paradis station and Stavanger central within 5 minutes of the apartments and a bus stop similar distance. A convenient shop near by too. Apartment is accessed through key pads. There is a lift to most floors, although our apartment was only accessibly by stairs from floor 3. We booked late and most hotels were booked but i think this was good value for money as it turns out.
