Here is one scenario that I see happening - "I leave my $2500 apartment in NYC and I put my freelance developer job in my carry-on. I buy my flights and pay rent for a year at The Roam. I want 2 months in Bali, 4 months in Japan and 6 months Miami." I am taken care of and I don't have to worry about searching for the right location or meeting the right people. It seems pretty good to me.

But you could live in a hotel for that kind of money in great part of the world.
$1600 is roughly an 8 night stay in Miami, at a decent hotel. I think this is a great deal for me as I can stay anywhere they are available when I want. I already pay over $2000 for a single bedroom apartment in downtown Fort Lauderdale - and I am stuck here in a lease for a year.
Just pay for this when you're in Miami then, not when you're in Indonesia
What happens if all the rooms are full in Japan when you get there?
