Working in this location was a bad experience. I would not recommend. Two stars, because the WIFI was working. To start, when paying for an all day pass, the website feels incomplete, as it is impossible to schedule or even convey the intent of going to the space in any specific date. The exception is if we want to pay extra for a private room, which we didn't. Then, upon arriving at the location on the 7th of November, 2022, after entering the space, no one welcomed me and my girlfriend, making us feel lost. Only after going back out and ringing the doorbell, did the space manager come and "greet" us. I tried to ascertain if simply buying the all-day pass was enough, but not until the very end did someone ask for my name or confirm that we had indeed purchased the pass to be there. The tour around the space felt rushed, to the point that we had to go and ask for details for the wifi. Then, the only places where we could sit were designed to not have a monitor, because one way or another we had to share a table with someone. Sadly, they didn't have soundproof booths, which is a huge missed opportunity, because I had some calls, and speaking in a low volume, while simultaneously trying to cancel the noise of other speaking around me, is quite challenging. After returning from lunch is when the experience went from disappointing to unacceptable. Because the office tour was rushed, my girlfriend got stuck in the bathroom, which appearently is a known and lasting issue, for the people that typically work there. This could have been completely avoided. Then, someone else sat our table, and once again, the office manager didn't provide the wifi details, so my girlfriend, out of sympathy helped this new coworker out, since I was in the middle of a meeting. And then, it happened. This new user of the coworking space changed is stance, and loudly began shouting instructions via a zoom call. Right there in the middle of the space, there was a personal trainer, speaking loudly, doing exercise positions, all in all, a very distracting affair. Meanwhile the office manager did nothing. Because I was in the middle of a call, I didn't get the chance to just get up and demand that something be done. And that's when I noticed that the regular users of the space started complaining to the office manager, which led to him passing a post-it note to the personal trainer, as a warning to not make noise. Only then, did the issue subside, but it was already too late. All of the disappointment and stress accumulated, left me no choice than to just give up working in such a low quality place. This place was a waste of my time and my money.
