TL;DR: If you are considering staying in rooms 1 or 2 (the cheapest ones), you might want to read this review first to know what you'll find. Here it goes a full review. Remote Work: The place, in general, was okay for working remotely. The chairs are very comfortable, and there is a beautiful common space to work in. Each room has its own desk for private meetings. However, the internet was not that good, though it depends on the nature of your work. Nonetheless, the place is surrounded by many cafes, so the internet problem was not that bad for me. Cleaning: The cleaning was very good, both in the common spaces (kitchen, office, and dining room) and the private bathrooms. Spaces: The kitchen was not a pleasant place to cook. They lacked some basic utensils, and some of them were in very bad condition. If you enjoy cooking, you won't like this kitchen. However, if you prefer ordering delivery, you'll be fine. Community: The house seemed to have no community rules, and the administrator did not live on-site, so the well-being of the community relied solely on the goodwill of the people living there. There was a WhatsApp group tho, so you could coordinate things there. Now, why did I give my review a 2 out of 5? It's because my experience in room 2 was bad, mainly due to two reasons: noise (both from outside and inside) and ventilation. Outer Noise: The place is very close to a street filled with restaurants, so hearing external noise is very common if you are near the street, which was the case with Room 2. Inner Noise and Ventilation: Room 2 does not have a window facing the outside; instead, it faces a corridor inside the building. As a result, the room can become very humid and hot if you keep the door closed for more than 2 hours. Also, since there were no rules in place, people could order food delivery at 2 am and make noise until late at night, and you could hear everything from your room, even with the door closed (Room 2 is located very close to the main door, and you can hear what happens in the living room). At the beginning, I tried to hold on until the end of the month, but going into summer sleeping became increasingly difficult, even with earplugs, because if I closed the door, the room would become hot, and if I opened the door, I could hear all the inner and outer noise at any time. When I discussed this issue with the administrator, they responded well and offered me some solutions. However, none of them worked for me due to various reasons that I explained to the administrator. In the end, I had to leave earlier than planned because I had a lot of trouble sleeping, and it was negatively affecting my daily life. I would have appreciated a refund since the problem was with the room itself, but it didn't happen. If I had to propose a solution, I would suggest that Room 2 shouldn't be used as a room. The same goes for Room 1. Both of these rooms are too exposed to noise from both outside and inside, unlike the other rooms that are located further away from the street and common areas. Perhaps if I had stayed in one of the other rooms, my experience would have been different, and I would have given a rating of 3 or 4 stars.
