I will give my perspectives in 2 languages: English, then in Mandarin.

Firstly, “Works Is” is a co-working space. Like the HUB franchises worldwide, this is predominantly a space where people rent desks, or rooms, to work on their projects for the day. Of course, you’ll get to use the amnesties in return: toilet (which doubles as a bathroom with shampoo and body foam) and kitchen (which includes the sink, stove, oven, and fridge). Good wifi is a given too.

Staying overnight is a grace that the owner, Howie, has kindly facilitated. This means you get a futon and a pillow to bunk in one of the workrooms (air-conditioned, adjustable) with the tables cleared to the side after their users vacate for the day. Other users may continue to work in the main room outside, but it is usually just Howie after 12am. And of course, you need to be up by 9.30am before the place becomes operational in the day. Yes it’s very spartan like, but the ergonomics is much better than couch surfing.

So who uses this place? Let’s say you’re on a marathon to finish a project (artwork, album, next big entrepreneurial idea), you’re on budget and would need a place to focus, no curfew, and would wanna spring up to do work at anytime without oversleeping. Or, speaking of entrepreneurial work, you’re in Taipei, and wants an official space for meetings with the crew here, as well as for package delivery. This place will fit the bill (both literally and figuratively) perfectly.

如同以上英文評述，Work Is 最根本是一個工作空間。所以，設備都以這樣一個空間的用戶而設定：有茶水、冰箱、和廁所（即是基本浴室）。切記：這裡不是旅館。但如果你是想要找一個地方工作而在夜時又順便可以（也不介意的）在這裡臥一夜，老闆皓宇可以為你提供床單和枕頭。以此，我想全台北就僅有這一間價格最合理。

當然，身為一個工作空間，這裡也是一個可以讓你與台北的夥伴們一起開會和共同討論的空間。Wifi 和冷氣也夠強。整體上，氣氛也非常有利於進行資料查詢，或基本的事務整理。地點也十分方便：靠近便利店，價格聯誼的小吃店，和麥當勞、星巴克、其它的咖啡座等。捷運站也很方便。真的是沒有太多可以挑的。

還有，使用在這裡工作的都是很友善的人。加上老闆的精靈與親切，一定會讓你留下一些深刻的回憶。

大量推薦給創意的遊牧民們。Highly recommended for nomads and creatives.

P.S: There’s a nice cat living here btw (真正館長是一隻可愛的貓咪)。
