It’s a convenient location and has everything you need. Staff is friendly and the coworking space is great too. People seem to reserve their spot for working l by leaving their laptops out around 2pm everyone disappeared but left their computers. It does get really loud outside at night but they do provide ear plugs. I’m a good sleeper so it didn’t bother me too much.
