  2. Firstly, it's huge! There is less focus on style, but more on a natural, university-campus atmosphere. All floors were great for convivial chatter, I particularly enjoyed the first and second floors.

  5. There are also small considerations for people who work. Desk lamps and blankets are provided. Power outlets are available at every seat too, so isn't this better than a shared office?

    일하는 사람을 위한 작은 배려도 있는데요. 스탠드와 담요가 준비되어 있답니다. 자리마다 콘센트도 이용할 수 있으니, 이만하면 공유오피스보다 낫지 않나요?

  10. It is nice that this place is open until 11 p.m., and there are lots of outlets from the bar seats to the table seats.
