Would you try co-living?

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours, Auckland is set to get another upmarket dormitory-style "co-living" house for adults where residents pay up to $360 to rent a room and share communal facilities like the kitchen, bathrooms and living areas with 21 neighbours. The Coh, a luxury boarding house, has been so popular since opening on Symonds St on July 22 that its owner is planning to open another. What do you think of the co-living concept? Would you try it? Please write "NFP" if you don't want your comment to appear in print.
