The space is well organized, with many different work areas- all very comfortable, clean and well-decorated. THe patio is amazing (another big surprise!). Most of all I appreciated the quiet and peaceful vibe-- none of the weird striver tech-bro energy I've experienced in other co-working spaces. I will definitely return in the future.

The ambiance was welcoming and bright. The restrooms were very clean and sanitary. The patio area was open with plenty of outdoor space and seating. In front was plenty street parking near destination. As for the owner he was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. However, the neighbor was problematic. During the middle of games, we were interrupted by the neighbor playing loud unearthly music blasting through a speaker specifically placed in their window towards our party. When asked by the owner to come to a reconciliation she refused and threatened to call patrol. Our party was still fun, but very distracted. The vibes were off, the owner tried to improvise by letting us bring music outside with a minimum volume limit but it didn't help much.

The Office is near reasonable parking for the meeting participants, too, when compared to the other public garages. Kyle, the receptionist, was helpful and friendly. The hourly rate was reasonable, too, when compared to other coworking spaces nearby. I highly recommend this alternative when you are trying to work or have meetings in downtown Berkeley. It's a few blocks off Shattuck Avenue, but it's worth the short stroll.

The phone booths are very tiny refurbished closets. They have more dedicated desks and offices than open space for those who just want to squat down for the day. Plenty of outlets though, both on the wall and floors. The design and interior are colorful and well designed just a lot smaller than what I was looking for.

I'm definitely considering a membership, this space and location are incredible.

I had an appointment nearby and figured I would make a day of it and work out of this location and walk around during my breaks... But an hour into being in this space I felt like I had had enough. I'm thankful that this isn't my home location. Vibe: Front desk wasn't super welcoming, even though I had shared it was my first time visiting. The shared spaces were all on one level, kitchen and then another room next to it with very little options for seating. The chairs weren't very comfortable. Because it was a small space, and I don't even recall seeing phone booths, I could hearing everything going on around me. Parking: This was a challenge. But maybe someone more familiar with the area would have an easier time finding parking. I found a parking garage a couple of blocks away.

Having opened just last week as one of the Bay Area's premier green office and event spaces, the Brower Center aims to inspire social action by providing an incubation ground for the collaboration of progressive organizations and citizens. Currently it houses half a dozen non-profits from those supporting local agriculture (CAFF) to community builders and environmentalists. The 180-seat theater, galleries and restaurant provide the pollen for the curious, active swarms to engage and mobilize. The execution is gorgeous: the building uses no artificial light during the day and collects vast amounts of energy from the rooftop solar panels. Rain is also channeled to water the patio gardens and toilets. It feels expansive and open but is a bit lacking in warmth. However, the Salgado photography exhibit on the ground floor is not to be missed; heart wrenching and thought provoking, they hit the (reclaimed) nail on the head with this one. I'm hoping to see some interesting community programs for youths. The key here is in utilization. We'll see what comes...

You Call That Art?…read more On a rainy Tuesday evening, I came out to the David Brower Center for a fun workshop with Visual Thinking Strategies on finding new and interesting ways to engage with art. We used the DBC's new gallery exhibition, "Land, Use", as our examples. I particularly enjoyed the discussions around the "Trojan Horse" and "Victory Garden" pictures. It was a fulfilling group exercise and made me realize how much information I miss during a museum visit, as I mostly breeze through. The DBC Exhibit Space is handsome and inviting and staff was more than accommodating. I also had a Kismet moment while looking at Fernando García Dory 's "Shepard's School" display about his work in Northern Spain. Gayle and I had marveled over those same Picos de Europa mountains and may have observed a few of those very nomads during our walk that one October day above Fuente De.

Its grimy and loud and perfect if your a young 20 year old attending university having fun on a Friday night. Restaurants and a bar make for a more enjoyable experience for people living nearby - that is if they enjoy that sort of thing. Parking might be an issue if you are driving in by car. It is limited and those ugly white 3 wheel police frequent the area. I remember 10 or 15 years ago I once even got a ticket for parking more than 18'' away from the curb. I didn't think that was the case but I wasn't parked perfectly parallel to the curb and it made it look worse that it was. Crime is increasing in Berkeley and parents have gone to far to raise funds to hire private security for their children. People here seem to be happy and care free but I think there may be certain people on edge. It is sad that the only thing we can trust the police department to do is to give tickets. They must walk around with a yard stick. Terrible people. How about they go lock up the kriminals instead?
