Coliving has many advantages (we even listed them here!), but one of them being that it allows you to move in and out quickly, hence travel without worrying of your lease! If you’re aiming at becoming a digital nomad, it can come in very handy. Therefore, we listed the best co-living spaces in the world right now. Ready to be location independent?
1 – The Collective
The Collective is a pioneering (huge) UK co-living space. It all started in 2012 and grew until today to become a 10-floor building hosting more than 500 people!
Where: London city center
Rent per week: the different rooms, all fully-furnished, obviously, range from €200 (+€45 charges) to €370, depending on whether you have a private kitchen, a view, etc. The usual, medium rent is €280 per week or 1260€/month. When you know that the medium rent for a simple studio in that area is above 1120€, this is a really good deal. However, keep in mind that the less you stay, the more expensive it gets per week.
Deposit: yes, €565
Services: wi-fi, a gym, room cleaning, linen changes, access to communal spaces, community events and their 24/7 on-site team
Minimum & maximum stay: 4 to 12 months
