A little OT, but here's a heads up for entrepeneuers out there: WeWork is trash.
If you're a startup, I'd just recommend that you and your cofounders get an Airbnb month-to-month. I was quoted 1500/month for their Irvine Spectrum coworking space (which is lol in itself...because it's literally in the middle of nowhere!) AND they wanted an extra 250/month per person for parking.
The real kicker is the hours the coworking space is open: 9-5. Good luck trying to grow your startup with a working day of <8 hours a day. WeWork: not even once.
Btw, does anyone know of a service that's similar to Airbnb but for office space?
- kevinh 9y agoIrvine is one of the most expensive cities in the United States. I don't know why you're so surprised prices were high.
- emodendroket 9y agoOh no, not regular hours.
- ShabbosGoy 9y agoA bit of context: with LA traffic 9-5 at WeWork is actually 12-3. Unless you want to leave at 5 AM in the morning and leave WeWork at 2 PM. My point is, it's just plain inefficient. We got a beach house on Airbnb literally on the beach. I wake up to a beautiful view in the morning. If I ever feel like I am burning out, I just walk on the beach or grab a beach chair and start hacking away :)

I know of https://liquidspace.com/ https://liquidspace.com/ and https://www.pivotdesk.com/ https://www.pivotdesk.com/ but neither is really quite "Airbnb for office space." I too would really like to know if such a thing exists!
- citricsquid 9y agoYou're incorrect about hours, WeWork provides 24-hour access at your assigned office to all members except On-Demand members who pay per-day to acccess a WeWork location. Hot Desk, Dedicated Desk, Private Office all provide 24 hour access. Front Desk / Community Staff are usually present only during 9 - 5, but otherwise there's no difference between 11am on a Monday and 11pm on a Sunday -- I am typing this from my Dedicated Desk at 19:53. You can see this information on the WeWork Plans page (https://www.wework.com/plans https://www.wework.com/plans), and you can see events listed after 5pm at the WeWork Irvine location, demonstrating it is not an outlier and is definitely open after 5pm.
