	General Advice for finding hosts: As the public transport in Hamburg is very well - also late at night (at least at weekends) - don't hesitate to contact people from the outer parts of the city. Especially in high season (summer, public holidays, weekends ...) people living in the city center get a lot of requests (make sure you've read [[How to write a Request]]).
