Digital nomads often struggle to find accommodation. This is especially true for those who want to stay somewhere for a few months or are unsure how long they want to stay in an area. It usually doesn’t make financial sense to rent an Airbnb for that long, and securing a traditional apartment rental agreement usually requires a one-year or similar commitment.
Therefore, securing a space in a cohabitation situation meets that happy medium: cheaper than most Airbnb rentals but with more flexibility than an apartment arrangement.
Another benefit for many is that co-living options provide digital nomads with convenient ways to meet other people, which isn’t usually as easy to do when renting an Airbnb or apartment.
In most of the cases, shared accommodation refers to a situation in which the digital nomad rents a room and shares common spaces, such as a place to cook. A bathroom can be individual or shared. Also, some situations save more money by sharing a room, similar to a dorm in a university.
One benefit offered by many of these types of places that attract like-minded people are different themes. For example, a co-living arrangement may aim to attract people who want to follow a plant-based diet and explore the outdoors, which is ideal for those seeking this type of environment.
Also note that co-living spaces sometimes also offer co-working spaces, allowing you to access places to work and meet within the same area.
