So, I am planning to take a week off in August to get up to this city and take in some shows. And I was wondering if any of you chaps with previous festival experience or local knowledge could furnish me with any tips or recommendation for accomodation while I'm there.

Much appreciated, especially if your tip is "if you don't mind sharing a room with my Columbian nyphomaniac ballet dancer lodger (who's feeling pretty vulnerable after the failure of her last relationship, please, feel free to stay at my mansion".
