Nice idea, this seems like something that effectively parcels out an exotic AirBNB that has good internet for a monthly rate, which is something more easily accomplished by the traveling tech worker by simply setting search filters on AirBNB. If there was a way to immediately sign up for a month I see there being the possibility of someone impulse buying a space.

Here's the thing about Airbnb, though. If you compare their typical monthly rates to a more accurate cost-of-living calculator like numbeo, you'll find that the rentals tend to be 1.5x-2.0x more expensive than finding a flatshare the "normal" way. Unfortunately, doing the latter is annoying and somewhat difficult. And you never know what you're going to get. Is the internet going to be stable? Is the heating going to work? Are the hosts going to be amicable?

If the other NomadHouses are going to be as affordable and beautiful as the Bali one ($1000/month would be reasonable), it'll be a fantastic deal. You get your own room; a wonderful house; a community of like-minded people to spend time with; and all with a simple click of a button. Perfect for people like me.
