    Great and productive environment full of good and interesting people. It is a gem for solo practitioners, telecommuters or small teams.

    I have been using Geek Offices for 3+ years, and it has been perfect for my needs throughout that…read moretime. Michael, the owner, is professional and responsive, and the people who currently use the co-working space are friendly also. The office is spacious, supplies are well-stocked, and the coffee never runs out. In terms of co-working spaces, it is also the most affordable option I found in Cambridge, especially if you bring in multiple employees and get the Geek Company rate.

    I rented a large office (actually huge...it could easily fit six people) at Geek Offices for the…read morelast six months. The landlord Michael, mentions that the offices are low key, and they are. It's all cubicles and private offices. There is a nice kitchen with coffee and two fridges. The internet comes from a fiber connection and is 50 Mbit down (fast enough) and 50 Mbit up (much faster than you usually see.) And for those of you who care about latency, the ping is only 2 ms which is super fast. Geek Offices is a bit of a time machine. It's like the old days before super pretty shared offices with tiny tables and tiny boxes of an office. No. Here you get big private cubes with plenty of space. Nice offices with plenty of room. And yeah, you're renting from the guy who owns the building. He's very responsive and flexible. It's his building and he's happy when it serves people's needs. The offices are on the lower level. Some of the offices have high windows, but overall this is not a place with lots of natural light. The cubes and furniture aren't new, but they're in good shape and they get the job done. There are showers and bathrooms right across the hall. You get 24-hour access with a key card, and privates offices lock. And more time machine...there is parking. A lot of parking. It isn't cheap, but hey, where can you get parking just two blocks from Inman Square? There's even visitor parking. Whoever has that? Now if anyone would actually visit you in person, they could go right ahead and park for free. Really, this is a place to work. Get stuff done. Heads down. Just you or a small team. Then get lunch in Inman Square. Sometimes going back to the future works just fine. Oh, one more thing. The rental terms are incredibly flexible. You pay for the month. You can leave with as low as one day's notice. For example, you decide on December 30th that you need to leave. You give notice on the 31st. You can leave the next day. You don't owe anything. I had to have it explained to me twice because I couldn't actually believe it.

    Davis Square

    Echoing the other reviews, which I wish I had seen before doing business with this company, Spaces…read moreDavis Square is a scam. Their sales person, Michel Jeha, sat down with me and my friend and told us explicitly exactly how much money we would be paying for our one month stay. I asked for it in writing. He gave it to me. Spaces does not care. Kitchen fees, internet fees, and now, after we've moved out, they are trying to charge us a $47.50 "office restoration fee". We had dedicated desks in a shared workspace. There is no restoration. Well, I'm not paying them any more money. If they want my $47.50 we can fight it out in arbitration. Also, our badges didn't work! We had to pass a shared one around that belonged to one of the people working at the front desk. Please, do not do business with this company. These are not good people.

    Honestly we've really liked the place and it's a great value, so I'll go in and change my review in…read morea heartbeat, if certain ongoing issues are resolved; The fridge broke literally a couple months ago. After a couple weeks of perpetual water leaking out, they figured out how to turn the water off. About a month later a new fridge arrived. About ANOTHER month later the old fridge was taken out. Buuuut the new fridge wasn't installed so it's just sitting here not plugged in for several weeks now. I think the staff who work here (including the girl who did work here but left recently) are great, but it seems like the upper management really don't care and maybe aren't responding? Not sure how else it takes multiple MONTHS to change out a broken fridge. Again, fridge situation gets fixed and I'd change it to at least 3 stars, but until that's finally resolved this place kind of sucks

    Central Square

    Pros: convenient to central square, cool ambiance, nice staff, available by the day for just $30,…read moregood light. lots of space, coffee and tea available, nice private meeting rooms are also available at $100/hr. Cons: REALLY loud. They have music playing (not blasting, but still....), and a lot of conversing going on (which oddly seems to be among the staff and management--they do know people here are trying to work, right?).

    Having become familiar with cowkorking spaces in Philadelphia like the very awesome Indy Hall, I…read morethink I became too comfortable in what I imagined a space to be. I wanted to work from a space in Boston a few months ago, and gave Workbar's new-ish Cambridge location a try. But whereas Indy Hall is an inspirational, creative space full of amazing people who make you feel at home in their community, Workbar is much less so. In fact from what I can remember, only one person one their staff spoke with me during my entire week there, and almost reluctantly so. It was a huge shock coming form a city where most people in the coworking space try very hard to make others feel included and supported. Quite honestly, Workbar feels less like a coworking space and more like a real, regular working space The downstairs area, where I spent most of my time, tries to be a hip cafe, with long communal tables and music playing. This does not, however, appear to translate into the kinds of transient conversations between strangers you might find in an actual cafe. Meanwhile, the upstairs feels like a cubical farm without any cubicles, with long work tables full of people quietly tapping away and conference rooms lining the outer walls. It actually felt uncomfortable to walk through, like I was invading an actual company's prviate space. It was uninviting and a little unnerving. Maybe spaces like this in Boston are meant for Very Serious Startup Workers funded by Large, Important Venture Funds. If that's the case and that's the environment you're looking for, then by all means, give Workbar a try. But if you're not into the sterile, quietcore worker scene and go to coworking spaces to interact with other people, you might just want to work from a cafe instead.
