Overall a very friendly, animated, clean and well-equipped place. Great location! Awesome conversations happening between people from all over the world. Staff (for the most part) was so friendly and helpful.
Two things I'd mention as a head's up:
- There is no good place to get any work done on one's own laptop or writing... they have computers upstairs, but if you want to use your computer and try and focus away from the chatter and room with no desk or desk-like surfaces on the bottom floor, you will have to do it sans-internet. (Which for me wasn't possible as I had a ton of work to do.) When I brought this up to the staff who was on at the time, she was kind of like, "Oh yeah, It doesn't really work up here." Like it was no big deal, and she didn't really make any effort to fix it or apologize at all for the inconvenience.
- There is a strict no-shoe policy which, maybe my own oversight, I was not aware of before checking in. I have a foot condition that causes pain when I walk on hard surfaces shoe-less. I wish I had seen this rule posted more prominently before I packed so I could have brought some house slippers or something. They were very helpful trying to troubleshoot it with me, but still, my feet have ended up in pain as a result. I get the rule, just wish it were more clearly posted.
