== 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 :-)

== Apartment: (near) 172, rte d'Arlon, Strassen ==
+
== Where to park your car ==
I checked out this place and it definitely looks very interesting.
+
Parking in front of the building cannot be used during office hours, and it's too small anyway. There
The owner is a very nice reasonable person.
+
are plenty of parking spots in the streets around level2. Cost: 1€/hour for max 3h parking.
It is located on the other side of the road, in front of Mc Donald's in Strassen.<br>
+
From 18:00 on, street parking is free.
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>
+
== What you find around ==
To enter the building, there are two doors closed by keys.
+
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.  
Then a stairway leading to the two floors, and a stairway, separated with a door, leading to the cellar.
+
  
The building is completely empty.
+
<!-- See the map for all details:
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>
+
http://goo.gl/v2GdY
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.
+
-->
  
Size is about 80m²<br>
+
== Pictures ==
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.

+
There are two main buses going to Strassen from Luxembourg: 18, 222.
+
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.

Banks, Post office, Bakery, Drug Store, etc...

You get the picture.
