Coworking spaces in Medellin are way overpriced for what you get

I saw a breakdown on NomadList showing that a desk at Selina costs $250 a month. You can rent a whole apartment in Laureles for $400 and get better internet. Has anyone else found better value working from cafes or smaller local spaces instead?

Man, have you actually tried the internet at those smaller spots during peak hours though...

Pergamino's wifi dips harder than my motivation on a Monday morning. I've definitely been that person refreshing the page 5 times while pretending to sip a cold latte. Selina might cost more but at least I can actually get work done without wanting to throw my laptop out the window.

UGH @val_shah brings up a good point about peak hour internet at small cafes. Have you actually tried working from somewhere like Pergamino or Cafe Velvet during a Tuesday afternoon rush? The connection drops like crazy after 3pm, making Selina's consistent speed worth the extra cash for me.
