It's been my workspace since I've got back from the USA. The other ones I've found don't even hold a candle to this one. The charm, it's sobriety and comfortable workspace increases my productivity and actually makes me come to the office on such a lighter note because of the other people working here. We are almost a small new family, going out for lunch and coming back even more amped to produce and share different experiences. The car is across the street, there is an amazing restaurant across the road, natural light in abundance and a cool meeting room.

Me and my girlfriend booked a private office. This was an absolute gift compared to the internet at out house where we had the most expensive internet package (sattelite). I could do my podcasts without any interruptions whereas she could work on her VPN on lightning speed. Besides that, the owner is a great guy always willing to help out or to have a chat. Highly recommend to drop by to check it out.
