[Standards] Utrecht in March -- accommodation

Dear Fahad,

I have asked this question of Linda, but it seems that some procedural 
issues prevent sharing this information (see below).

In the end, it's a budgetary choice vs. the time you are able to devote 
to finding accommodation. Since 120-150 EUR is beyond my institutional 
budget, I decided to look for accommodation on my own. But I wanted to 
provide the info to everyone in case your time/budget ratio is different.

One more piece of information that I have also requested is the precise 
address of the venue. So far, I know that the room has been booked 
("Thursday 26 (from 12:00 to 18:00) and Friday 27 March (from 8:30 to 
13:00) ") and that it's at the University of Utrecht. I'll get back to 
you with the precise address probably tomorrow morning. Well, asap.

Best regards,

    Piotr
