I've studied for a year at Alkio a decade ago and buildings were bit tired but okeyish (and as far as I know they've been renovated), but the area is cozy, peaceful and beautiful. Concerning the rally, it is very well located. You have good connections to stages on Friday morning (near Petäjävesi) and on Saturday near Jämsä. And of course shakedown. Perhaps a downside is that you must use road E9 pretty much always and that is always jammed during the rally. (I think there is short shortcut road to junction that leads to Petäjävesi that you can use without having to use E9). But traffic's something you have to deal with anyway. If the price is right, it's easy solution, I'd say.
