To update the email thread on the result of last night's IRC discussion: Luca found that, while AirBNB might be cheaper than one person staying solo in a hotel room, two people sharing a hotel room is cheaper than AirBNB, at least for the cheaper hotel options (still well-located). Luca and I are consequently sharing a room in the La Residence Suite Hotel, roughly a 10-minute walk from the sprint location and in the heart of downtown Bellevue. Another sprint attendee will be in the Red Lion hotel at his employer's expense; that hotel seems comparably affordable although 10-15 minutes further away on foot. Not sure about everyone else. I'll email you and Steve McIntyre off-thread about the hotel cost for Luca and me, and my flight costs. All seems within reasonable ranges by my judgment. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [email protected]
