I haven't, but dropped in to say that my buddy is opening a co-living co-working space for digital nomads in Puerto Escondido, Mexico called Sobreluna. In the latter stages of construction now!

@duffdevone This is really cool! I love the design of the rooms, feels comfortable and cozy.
No I have seen mamy coworking spaces but never rented any/.
Had a positive experience with co-living, especially the flexibility and social aspect. The challenge was balancing personal space with communal living.
@candy_portuondo Thank you for the insightful comment. Just curious, how do you deal with space conflicts with roommates?
Rented a co_ living space during my internship, and it was quite an adventure. Meeting new people from different backgrounds was the highlight.
@greffin_dony Good point. Co-living gives us a lot of chances to meet diverse people and make new friends.
Enjoyed the community aspect of co living and the convenience of included system. However, privacy was sometimes an issue, especially when everyone had different routines.
@steve_troy Can't agree more. The co-living community and amenities is truly convenient. How do you deal with privacy issue, like negotiate with roommates and set a rule?
I stayed in a co-living space for 6 months after college. It was great for meeting people and the amenities were nice, but sharing a bathroom and kitchen got old after a while. I think having more privacy while still being able to socialize would be ideal. Maybe a mix of private rooms and communal spaces? Just my 2 cents!
@jonathanmichaelblake Yes. Privacy and shared responsibility is always a problem when co-living. How do you solve it? Do you meet any problem when trying to find a ideal roommate?
Let me share my experience first.
Living in a co-living arrangement was a game-changer for me. It combined the benefits of community and convenience in ways I hadn’t expected. The shared amenities and the chance to connect with people from various backgrounds made the transition to a new city so much easier. Yet, it wasn’t without its challenges.
What stood out to me was:
The Sense of Community: Co-living spaces create a supportive environment that helps newcomers feel at home quickly. It’s easier to build connections and feel part of something bigger.
Shared Costs and Amenities: It’s a cost-effective way to enjoy well-equipped living spaces. Sharing expenses with roommates alleviates the financial burden and provides access to better amenities than you might afford alone.
One challenge I faced was:
Finding the Right Match: It can be challenging to find roommates whose lifestyles align with yours. Compatibility is key to a harmonious living experience, and it often takes time and effort to ensure everyone’s on the same page.
Isn't that called a hostel?
@mogthesify Co-living is a broader concept; a large house shared by multiple tenants can also be called a co-living space.
