Personally, I’m tired of hearing people complaining about students and freelance workers “hogging” tables in Starbucks. At the same time though, I also just work better outside of my house and/or the library. For people out there who suffer the same dilemma, here are affordable co-working spaces that actually cater to people like you and me. And all under P700 too for a day’s worth of work.
