Ask HN : Where do you work (if freelance) ?

I work from home in a highrise condo (that I'm leasing) conveniently located in the middle of the city. That being said a lot of my neighbors are much older (35+) than me (22) and don't listen to loud music. It is dead quiet 90% of the time with a remaining 5% being on the weekends when some neighbors have guests over and another 5% for when occasional cleaning crews are on the floor or when the lady above me that wears high heels is home and walking around.

As for when I need a "change of scenery", I sometimes move down to the lobby floor where there is a secluded library that has the added benefit of smelling like books.

Granted it is rather expensive and I live by myself, but it helps me to be very productive and the fiber Internet line is always a plus.

I'm in the same situation. When I need a break I head to the local coffee shop. If that's too loud I'll head to school or the library. Changing scenery often helps keep the juices flowing.

I find even moving around the apartment helps. I have a movable desk, so I've been experimenting with working in different locations throughout the day.

By "expensive" I mean still cheaper than a small 1-person studio in San Francisco in the Marina.
