Breather: Airbnb for office space?
It’s difficult not to be aware of the limitations of working from home: No professional spot conference room to host clients, and sometimes, they themselves don’t have the space to share when we need to meet. What with the real estate shakeup that Airbnb has caused, it seems inevitable that hourly…
