Airbnb sounded like a horrible idea to me. Who the heck would rent out a single room? Sounded like a recipe for murder.

      I worked for a small but growing company last year. The ability to scale the office requirements on a per hire basis, without having to furnish or worry about any of the workings - just give your staff a laptop and a badge, was brilliant. Expensive? Yes. But they have their place.

      We also did work with a few 100% remote companies with employees across the UK, who would rent some space on an adhoc basis for small groups of employees who wanted to spend a few days working together on a specific project. The employees could choose which city the office was in, it worked fairly well.

      To be fair they aren’t too bad for what you get.

      I worked for a company where we needed an office space for our department separate from their main office. Regus had flexible contracts and provided everything we needed - internet / power / furniture / cleaners / parking / security etc and it was less than 2k a month for a 6 person office.

      We work has flexible meeting rooms my current company has used, and when we were a startup it let them have affordable office space in a nice building with other people.
