All, Friends of mine are performing at the Edinburgh Fridge Festival and apparently may have a spare flat available for much of the period covering ICFP.
We will actually have a 4/5 bedroom flat which you could have for five or six days from the 31st if it suited- would suit us as we aren't using it but they will only hire by the week.
The advantage of this one is that it may be cheaper, but it would not cover the hackathon, we'd have to find somewhere else for those two days. Hiring a shared flat is one of the cheaper and nicer ways of getting accommodation in Edinburgh around the festival time (since all the hostels and hotels will be expensive and booked up). However it has to be booked early and obviously you need to have enough people. For the poor starving students, sharing rooms within flats also works. There's a big list of other flats advertised via the Edinburgh Fridge website. http://www.edfringe.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=49&sid=ab297cccb8dd08786f61a3eb80ba5a31 Duncan
