Coliving as a couple with different routines

One person may want communal dinners every night while the other needs quiet evenings. Talk about those expectations before choosing a stay. Agree how you will spend time together, work separately and meet other residents independently. Joining a household as a couple should not mean either person has to participate through the other.

Confirm the room, price for two people and where each of you could work. Two laptops and overlapping calls may need more planning than the bed arrangement. Ask about shared-space expectations and read the current terms together. At Selgars, use the application conversation to discuss your particular routine. It is easier to notice a mismatch before arriving than to discover that each person imagined a completely different month.

For the wider context, read our coliving guide. If you are working through the next practical detail, being sociable in coliving without always being available follows naturally from this.

You can also explore coliving ethos and current prices. Bring the details of your group or stay to the conversation so we can discuss what fits, rather than assuming every arrangement is included.
