Looking for a place to stay in Helsinki!

[Samuelsson]

First of all, apologies if this is in the incorrect forum - MODs please feel free to move it where appropriate.

Some pretext;

My name's Sam and I'm a Law student at a University in England. At the end of August, I'm heading to Helsinki to begin a year studying Law and various other topics at the University of Helsinki. But I have a small problem; my accommodation contract doesn't begin until the 1st of September, however I have to be in Helsinki for roughly the 27th of August, meaning I need somewhere to stay for 5-ish nights. I know CP has a few people from/living in Finland, so I thought I'd check out here before I browse the inevitably expensive hotels that Helsinki has to offer.

If anybody knows anyone that could help with my needs, that would be great. Obviously, I can video call online etc, and sort all that out beforehand. I'm just trying to save a few extra £ for what will already be an expensive year!

Cheers for reading, and again, apologies if this is in the wrong forum

Helsinki is awesome. I have been a few times for conferences and workshops at the University. One time they put me up in a sketchy hotel near the train station that looked like it was straight out of a 1982 East Berlin redivivus. It was amazing.
