Bootstrapping? Looking for a quaint, laid back friendly space? Most start ups and other green businesses are looking for exactly that a place to work, to rub elbows with other smart, sharp, "go getters", "rain makers". The first time I stepped foot into this coworking space I was given a tour of the conference room, on my way down the hallway I was greeted by friendly smiles and welcoming faces; architects, designers, freelancers, everyone sharing space while managing their business. Conveniently located around the block from Bryant park, easily accessible from any location. The owner Jason and the Office Manger Nancy are very accommodating. Give them a call and try the space out. I'm sure you'll tell all your friends about it.

This place provided me with what I needed. All I wanted was a small room to make a Skype call in private in the city. I believe they charge $9.99 an hour for this. But because today was Friday it was free for me. I stayed about an hour for free made my call with internet and that was that. I will certainly come back here for future calls I need to make.

Don't believe the 5 star reviews. They are most likely fraudulent. At least one, by Nancy G, is absolutely fake. (she had posted one of the reviews titled "Awesome space"). She is the director of the space and has no business posting reviews. I have flagged it for removal if it is no longer there. The aforementioned Nancy Gonzalez had posted several times on the New York Tech Meetup list about free coworking space on Fridays. After she had posted for several months, I decided to take her up on her offer. I emailed with her several times and confirmed with her that the following Friday, 5/31 would be a great day for me to come in. I arrive and I am greeted with a sparse, drab and depressing space. There were only 5 solo people working at the entire space, and someone at the desk. It was really not a great space to begin with. Despite seemingly making my reservation with Nancy via email a week ago, the person at the desk was clueless. He claimed they stopped their free coworking Fridays weeks ago and wanted to charge me $30 to use this space (keep in mind the last promotional email went out to the tech meetup group only a week and a half ago). Showing him my emails with Nancy Gonzalez, the director, did not help. The person at the desk was really not sorry for the mixup and I was told to sit and wait until I got confirmation that I could go ahead and work there for the day. This person, did not make a phone call, but either texted or emailed. There was no urgency to solve this problem. 20 minutes go by, and I find myself answering emails on my phone. "Sorry he says, I have to get confirmation from my boss." I give it 5 more minutes. Still nothing. I then left, being that I had a lot of work to do, and I couldn't sit around any longer waiting for a response. Who knows how long I would have to wait. I then left, finding a coffee shop down the street to conduct my business, and wrote an angry email to Nancy Gonzalez, which was never responded to. I thought I would give her a weekend to respond, always trying to give a business the benefit of the doubt. After no response I posted this review. maybe Nancy Gonzalez and SoTechie Spaces should spend more time handing their customers and customer service instead of posting fake Yelp reviews. DO NOT GO! DO NOT TRUST THEM!
