| − | == Loft: 20, rue du Fort Wallis, Luxembourg == | + | == How to get there by public transport == |
| − | I checked out the loft and it looks nice. Plenty of space incl. toilet and shower, a small storage and a kitchen. Floor is Laminat. Real estate agent said that we might have some extra walls. I personally wouldn't recommend that as the open solution gives us the maximum flexibility. Neighbors are studios with young people, so we may listen to music and there is a café downstairs. It is very central (10 minutes walk from the railway station). You shouldn't come by car... parking is not so easy and the police is next door :-)

| | | | |
| | + | All hypothetical travel is from the Gare Centrale, but you will find your way even if you are not coming from there. |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | == Apartment: (near) 172, rte d'Arlon, Strassen ==
| + | * At the Gare take the tram and get off at the stop : '''Lycée Bouneweg''' |
| − | I checked out this place and it definitely looks very interesting.
| + | ** From there head left and follow the street |
| − | The owner is a very nice reasonable person.
| + | ** When arriving at the red light, cross it and go to the left passing the gas station. |
| − | It is located on the other side of the road, in front of Mc Donald's in Strassen.<br>
| + | ** From there, follow the road until the first building after the gas station and enter the private parking on the right. |
| − | It's an apartment building with an apartment which was used by a travel agency on the ground floor (large front window), and has two levels above that one with private apartments.<br>
| + | |
| − | There is plenty of parking belonging to the building, hence private, and others in the surroundings.<br>
| + | |
| − | The rooms are generally well lit by sunlight.
| + | |
| − | The building was constructed in the 70s, and is in good shape.
| + | |
| − | There is no garage, but there is a large cellar split up into different rooms which may be locked by key. There are quite large rooms in the cellar giving huge storage space.<br>
| + | |
| − | There is even a massive safe (there was a bank in there once...) :-) but no clue if one may use it :-).<br>
| + | |
| − | Nice thing is that there is even a garden for shared use and at the back of the building it's quite and really nice... big plus !
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | The apartment consists of one large bedroom, one smaller one, a fairly large bathroom, a large living room spanning the whole side of the building, and a kitchen with kitchen stuff (fridge, oven etc) included !<br>
| + | * or by Bike [http://g-o.lu/3/kFP1 Geoportail] |
| − | To enter the building, there are two doors closed by keys.
| + | ** Using either your own one or the Vel'OH follow the tram on the dedicated bicycle lane |
| − | Then a stairway leading to the two floors, and a stairway, separated with a door, leading to the cellar.
| + | ** Follow the tram until the stop : Lycée Bouneweg |
| | + | ** From there the bicycle lane unfortunately ends ... and you will have to drive on the street. |
| | + | ** Turn left and follow the street |
| | + | ** When arriving at the red light. |
| | + | ** If you are using your own bike |
| | + | *** Go on the left lane and signal left. |
| | + | *** After turning, follow the road until the first building after the gas station and enter the private parking on the right. |
| | + | *** '''In front of the entrance is a dedicated Bike rack.''' |
| | + | ** If you are using the Vel'Oh |
| | + | *** Go on the left lane but go straight |
| | + | *** After crossing the intersection you will see a Vel'Oh station where you can drop off your Bike. |
| | + | *** Level2 is a short walk away, cross the road and the gas station. |
| | + | *** From there, follow the road until the first building after the gas station and enter the private parking on the right. |
| | | | |
| − | The building is completely empty.
| + | * or by buses |
| − | Hence the owner isn't 100% sure if he wants to let one apartment or let the building to some agency or so (but I have a feeling he may be convinced to let just one)...<br>
| + | ** Any Bus that goes past either |
| − | On a side note, I only visited the first floor apartment, but the top floor one is empty as well as noted...only thing is the people who lived there are currently moving out...but it's exactly the same as the one I checked out.
| + | ***Bonnevoie, Hippodrome |
| | + | ***Bonnevoie, Lycée Bouneweg PE |
| | + | (Most buses leaving from Gare Rocade going towards Hollerich stop at these stops) |
| | | | |
| − | Size is about 80m²<br>
| + | <!-- insert a plan with road path here --> |
| − | Cellar: several rooms, the main one is about 10-12m² (sorry no pictures), there are other rooms. Is negotiable what we may use.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Here are some pictures of the first floor apartment.
| + | == Where to park your car == |
| | + | Parking in front of the building cannot be used during office hours, and it's too small anyway. There |
| | + | are plenty of parking spots in the streets around level2. Cost: 1€/hour for max 3h parking. |
| | + | From 18:00 on, street parking is free. |
| | | | |

| + | == What you find around == |

| + | The syn<sub>2</sub>cat hackerspace is in the middle of the quartier Bonnevoie in Luxembourg City. There is a good connection via bus, bicycle and train. Several restaurants and shops are nearby. |

| − | ===Accessibility===
| + | <!-- See the map for all details: |
| − | There are two main buses going to Strassen from Luxembourg: 18, 222.
| + | http://goo.gl/v2GdY |
| − | The first one is a local bus, the other one comes from Kirchberg, through Strassen, to Steinfort.
| + | --> |
| − | There is also a fairly close train-station in Bertrange.
| + | |
| − | Parking as already mentioned is no problem at all !
| + | |
| − | Motorway access is "around the corner".
| + | |
| − | So I suppose everybody would be happy with accessibility to this place.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are several fast food restaurants nearby (Quick, Mc Donald's, PizzaHut), but also some real restaurants (Italian, Indian, Chines (I think), etc..), Cactus (supermarket/mall) is very close, as is Cora/Concorde.
| + | |

| − | | + | |
| − | ==Strassen, former primary school "containers"==
| + | |
| − | The place in Strassen is quite close to being perfect...it has 4 seperate classrooms which are about 60m2 each. Every room has a seperate lock on the door. There are 4 toilets for each sex and a small "serverroom" where the existing cabling infrastructure comes together.
| + | |
| − | Situation is this : We need to wait on a meeting with the local mayor only then will we be able to fix rent charges, possibilities, etc.
| + | |
| − | In the meantime, situation is excellent...bus is just 50m away, parking spaces about 20 in front, 50 more further away. Direct proximity to "[http://www.lesthermes.net Les Thermes]" and its Restaurant/Bar facilities.

We're now located on level 2 of an office building on one of the busy main roads of Luxembourg city.
A lot of bus lines go directly from the nearby train station which is at walking distance.
All hypothetical travel is from the Gare Centrale, but you will find your way even if you are not coming from there.
(Most buses leaving from Gare Rocade going towards Hollerich stop at these stops)
Parking in front of the building cannot be used during office hours, and it's too small anyway. There
are plenty of parking spots in the streets around level2. Cost: 1€/hour for max 3h parking.
From 18:00 on, street parking is free.
