I live very near the Ortigas area and I usually do my work in various cafes. Well, as you may know the reliability of the internet/WiFi here, there ar time when it just doesn't work out for me for a myriad of reasons. My problems range from the spotty wi-fi, no printer/scanners, loud noises while trying to make a phone call, no noise while trying to make a phone call, fear of getting my stuff stolen when I need to have a restroom break. The list goes on and on!
Enter A Clean and Well-Lighted Place, all those reasons went out the door. I literally dropped by their space one day after the cafe I was working in lost their WiFi connection. Annoyed and frustrated, I used my last bit of 3G to search for a co-working space near me. Their site popped up and I started walking. I arrive on the 27th floor and saw the clearly lit signage!
The place is, yes, very well-lit and it's quite spacious. Since I was a walk-in, I didn't need my own private space and there is more than enough space here to get my work done. They have conference rooms and a pantry with a very good coffee machine. I loved that it was quiet but not "library quiet". What impressed me the most is the WiFi connection! Holy Moly! It was so fast! I felt so efficient and productive. Too bad I already arrived pretty late in the afternoon. Seriously, having steady, fast WiFi does wonders with getting work done. Loved it!
Right now, the rate is Php100 per hour even though you plan to stay the whole day. But, with their WiFi and location in Ortigas, it's reasonable especially if I really really need to get work done! read more
