Anyone work out of a co-working space? Totally recommended?

I been doing the work from home for 2 years now. It's getting a little meh. Love the freedom, but it would be nice to have actual physical co-workers, or something like it.

I work out of a co-working space but I also work for myself rather than for a company.

I could work at home but the social monotony would get to me. I need to be around other people shooting the breeze, catching up, networking, or getting help on a programming problem. I'd become too depressed being home alone all the time.

I'd recommend it. It can be pricey though (I pay $400 for a reserved desk in Brooklyn).

I tried coworking last year. It was an hour drive to me, but overall it was worth it. So much better to be in a social environment where folks are supportive than in a cave at home slinging out code.
