I've used many coworking spaces over the last 15 years, across NY City, Houston, Chicago, Dallas,…read morevarious NYC suburbs, and L.A. Some (with very regal sounding names) are bland and charge you for every paper clip and post it note you use, or lock you into a contract without disclosing how long you're on the hook for. Others are painfully hipster and while sounding collaborative, are just noisy and immature. By comparison, Serendipity hits it right down the middle. I use both the Connecticut locations frequently, have been in both NYC offices, as well as Texas, White Plains, and L.A.
All are incredibly well run, with happy, professional staff, good resources, and - most important - seamless connectivity. Even if it's your first time at a new location, if you're a member, you're able to log in instantly, and you are treated like a VIP when you're a visitor. Coffee / infused water / snacks are all helpful, and services like printing, booking a meeting room, or tech issues are taken care of in a snap.
Specifically in Westport, the team is perfect in terms of helpfulness and prompt service for anything you need. If you need an office, hot desk, dedicated desk, or just a place to get coffee & check email while on the road, this is the one to use. Memberships are incredibly cost effective and you avoid the frustrations that this industry has become infamous for.
