Workations are a great way to shake up your routine when you’re working from home, but planning them is easier said than done. Picking the right accommodation is one of the most difficult tasks that you’ll have to face, and these tips will help you make the right choice.
Privacy and Comfort
If you’re having trouble concentrating when there are a lot of people around you, hostels are best avoided. A private room or an apartment will give you the sense of privacy you crave. Booking a stay at a place with an office desk and comfy chair is also a good idea.
Good Wi-Fi
A stable internet connection can make or break your workation, and that’s the first thing you should be paying attention to when reading reviews. Working from cafés and using an international SIM card or your data during local trips is always an option, but you don’t have to go an extra mile when Wi-Fi at your accommodation is good.
Length of Stay
Booking and Airbnb will do just fine for short trips, but you should consider looking for accommodation elsewhere if you’re planning a longer trip. If you’re sticking around in the same city for multiple weeks or months, look for local apartments to save some money.
