SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just in case people are still sorting accomm, I still have a space in my apartment. The details are: Location: Hotel Ava - we are in the 3 bedroom apartment: which you can have a looksie at here The kitchenette in it looks very basic; it should be good enough for breakfast stuff, but other meals it does like we'll be eating out. Dates: we are booked 8th August to 14th August People: Myself, Phil(MountainGoat), Dan(Targh), Johan(not sure what his westeros handle is) and Pod The bed that is available is in the twin room with myself. I personally have no issues with sharing a room with a guy, but figured you should be aware of it so it's not a surprise on the day. Price: total price for the week will be 172Euros each, and I don't mind that being paid to me, in Helsinki, in Euros. In fact, it would probably make life a helluva lot easier for me, as it would mean I don't have to worry about toting Euros around my Russia trip.

Toft Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Still need somewhere - that looks good - but Wert has beaten me by 13 mins ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Looking at flights. Ryanair is flying to Tallinn relatively cheaply, but (right now anyway) it's cheaper to fly direct from Gatwick (urgh) to Helsinki on Norwegian Air, and the dates are a lot more conducive, as they fly daily (Ryanair is flying every 2 to 3 days).

Yep that's exactly what I was looking at. Norwegian air Gatwick to Helsinki. ..just the easiest...and cheapest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If you're on Facebook, the ASoIaF Facebook Group has hired two houses and is considering hiring a third, so they've got plenty of space still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Ok, we've booked a place in the Punavuori area of Helsinki, looking like it's south of the city centre? I need to compare it with the hotel locations. There are 4 of us, me and Kissdbyfire, and Little Miss Sunshine and All Men Must Rhyme. Am thinking about flying to Belgium and joining them on the flight to Helsinki and back, since I've never been to Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punavuori is a well-heeled neighbourhood that borders the southern edge of the inner city centre. Even the farthest bits ought not be more than a ten minute walk from a tram stop. The city of Helsinki loves marketting it as the heart of the so-called design district and there are plenty of cafes, bars and antique bookshops dotting the streets around viisikulma/femkanten.

lady narcissa Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I've purchased my plane tickets and my hotels are booked so I guess I am official. Or at least somewhat official as I have actually not yet purchased my Worldcon membership! Luckily there are direct flights between Helsinki and Chicago in the summer so that makes everything that much easier. I am making a proper vacation of this and plan to see Helsinki and other parts of Finland so I will be there from the 4th to the 14th of August. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Lyanna Stark Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Since I'm the slowest of the Slow, I am looking into getting a membership soon, but have no idea where to stay. Someone mentioned BWB-houses and Facebook groups oh my and this sounds great, but I see nothing on FB so if some kind soul could message me the details later I would be forever happy and tyvm etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
