In this topic, Finnish members can announce if they would like to act as hosts
for our foreign AFOL guests.

The guests, on the other hand, can announce here if they would like to be accomodated
by a host.

A few lines about yourself and other critical information (do you have pets or allergies etc.)
wouldn't hurt either. ;)

Hi Palikkatakomo members,

8 members (4 of them one family) of Latvian and Lithuanian LUGs look for accommodation for PiiPoo event weekend Sept 21-23.
2 nights - Fri-Sat and Sat-Sun. Preferably in Helsinki area.

Best regards,
Mangus Põllmaa
from EstLUG

Hello Mangus,

As I already established on Facebook, my family is able to house 4 people (two rooms with two beds each) that weekend. We live 50km away from the city however, but the route to the exhibit center is very straight. (About a 40-minute drive.)

In case they don't have a car, I'll be at the event all day everyday, so I'm able to drive our guests to the event and back.

Points of note are that we'd prefer non-smokers (baby in the house) and we have a cat if anyone is allergic. (Also a turtle)

Since I am also travelling, I cannot sadly offer any sleeping place but I can help you to find cheap accommodation:

Omena Hotels is affordable hotel, 4 persons in one room costs only 250-260 € for 21.-23.9. There is no breakfast at the hotel but since the location is in downtown, there is a lot of restaurants, shops and breakfast options around. Also there is no reception at the hotel, they just send you the room key. There is still cleaning so it's not a bad option. There are two Omena hotels in Helsinki, both of them are in downtown (near Kamppi shopping center so one train stop from Pasila, around 30 minutes journey by foot, I think).

Forenom has both hotel and furnished apartments in downtown. Their price range seemed to be around 250-350 € for 4 persons during that time. Forenom website is bit confusing since you find both apartment hotel room and apartments there so be careful to check the location of the room you book. The locations are spread around Helsinki and it seems that you can fairly easily reach Pasila from any of the location.

There is also Airbnb but the prices vary alot and downtown Helsinki seems bit more expensive. But if you find Airbnb apartment that is located close to railway, you can easily reach Pasila via trains as Pasila.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any questions, please ask!

There are at least 7-10 people from BalticLug joining us again at PiiPoo Helsinki 2019. =)
Are there any people willing to act as hosts among us? If so, reply to this topic. :)

Much like last year, we can accommodate a few people. We have two rooms available, so we can fit either two couples or 4-5 people. We're 50km outside the city (about 40min drive). I can serve as a driver between the exhibition center and our place if need be, but that limits us to 4 passengers/guests.

We have a toddler, so non-smokers only. We also have a cat and a turtle, in case anyone's allergic.
