This is a great piece, thanks for sharing, Alex. I thought I'd add a link to a piece in APM's Marketplace from a few weeks ago in which we invited a reporter to try coworking from her apartment in Brooklyn as a beta test of our online coworking community, SpareChair <https://sparechair.me>.
The same thing happened that you describe, Sally seemed very pleasantly surprised at how beneficial she and her guest coworkers found the experience. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/extra-chair-your-home-office-rent-it-out It's a great idea to encourage business reporters to give coworking a try, they seem to always enjoy it write a great piece about your coworking business.
