Do you prefer working from home or co-working spaces? Why?

I prefer working from Home. We've got a nice little apartment on the top floor of the building, with a nice view that I can contemplate our little succulents growing up.

I also much prefer being in a quiet environment where I can blast my own music, and not worry about people looking at my screen, judging me, or potentially interrupting me.

And perhaps more importantly, I hate the idea of having to pay for a quiet place that I can have at home for free. Our rent in Dublin is expensive enough as it is, and paying for a dedicated space is an expense I don't need. ;)

I'm definitely not against going to a coffee shop every now and then though: a change of environment does help me, from time to time. And honestly, if I can get a decent cup of coffee, that's a huge plus for me. Luckily there are plenty of third-wave coffee houses around Dublin, two of which are near our apartment.
