This is a spartan and elegant private room in a new, modern space. You can have your independence but also chat with others. The shared work space is in the kitchen. The Laundry space downstairs is lively! I liked being able to make coffee in the morning (never fully adjusted to PT) and the option to do laundry. Gianmatteo is a great host and easy to get a hold of. He even loaned me his personal blow dryer!
