I had a most refreshing time during my stay at The Hatchery Place. It is nestled within a quiet neighbourhood with easy access to a park and eateries within 15 minutes' drive. That meant the world to me as I recovered from exhaustion due to a hectic lifestyle. I stayed in The Minimalist Room which had furniture personally crafted by Kevin. The room, while small, gave me all the necessities to just rest and do nothing. I loved how the sturdy bed frame supported the mattress, which in turn gave me restful sleep for the week that I was there. The hosts screen who stays there to ensure that all occupants are aligned with the values of the co-living space, which I believe are Trust, Respect and Creation. I certainly had a most pleasurable stay! My co-living companions during that week were introverts who all enjoyed each others' company. As an introvert myself, I felt so comfortable with the way we striked up conversations when we meet at the common areas and left when we need to go about doing our own things. We also had so much fun during the impromptu game nights! Thank you, Elaine, Kevin and Ai Jou for creating and maintaining this space. It was the rejuvenating oasis I needed after 3 months of working with very few off days. May your space continue to provide magical experiences to those who stay there <3
