The digital age has given rise to legions of freelancers, start-ups and telecommuters. While working from a coffee shop or home is convenient, it lacks the collaboration and office amenities that a traditional workspace provides. Co-working spaces serve as a middle ground between traditional workplaces and the solitude of a home office. They give mobile workers a reason to get out of their pajamas and into productivity mode without the huge rental expense of traditional office space. There is also the benefit of shared spaces and common areas that these new work spaces offer. With conference rooms, kitchens and more, there is a huge demand for co-working spaces around the world. Los Angeles offers many options to choose from. These are the best.
