Would you pay to travel for remote work?

Airbnb building their service for remote work- https://www.airbnb.co.uk/work

Wondering if people would really pay for that vs the sort of thing I am building as an alternative - https://wws.jjm.mybluehost.me/will/

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.

Post-COVID, I can see a situation where this may be something with a demand:

1. remote work for people that live far outside big cities, but have clients/work in a city or in another suburb of a city (in the DC region, there is a lot of suburb-suburb commutes). Or people looking to rent a meeting room for a morning/day.

2. small, seasonal audience of parents with kids going to summer camps. Parents that may work for home may send kids into a city for unique summer camps. Parents may wish to rent an office rather than "camp out" at a Starbucks for ~6-7 hours a day. I don't know how big of a segment this is, or price point.

Interesting - think you're thinking of remote workers who might travel for a certain reason.

I was thinking about remote workers who want to change up their environment for mental health / productivity reasons.

If office space becomes smaller and more competitive for desks, I see employees looking for entrepreneurial ways to meet their workspace requirements.
