The AVLtoday team was lucky enough to test out the digs at WestBase Coworking, and it may have just been our favorite workday of 2021 thus far. From fresh local coffee to lightning-fast internet to stylish, impeccably clean furniture, the space has all the amenities necessary for a productive, fun + meaningful day of work.

For all you digital nomads, remote workers, entrepreneurs, creatives + beyond, we’ve got the deets of our coworking experience at WestBase and how you can #TryThis.

Experience:

Spending the day at WestBase Coworking

What we tried (with pricing):

We utilized a Day Pass ($35) – one of WestBase’s membership options. We tried to take advantage of everything they have to offer in the West Asheville-based coworking space (which is a lot).

We checked out everything from their private desks to the hanging papasan chair (see Laura really enjoy spinning around in that chair on our Instagram Story).

WestBase also has private office spaces available, offering members 24/7 access with a key card, a locking office, meeting room credits, mail service + other amenities. Think: A gorgeous balcony, arcade games, high-speed wifi, and more.

What not to miss:

Monday Yoga Lunch Breaks that take place outside the office space. It’s an awesome, community-focused offering that makes it easy to destress and give your mind + body some good ol’ fashioned self-care smack in the middle of a workday.

What we’re still talking about:

The vibes. Between the friendly consortium of coworkers, the lively collection of plants + the impeccable lighting (perfect for Zoom calls and selfies), we left feeling charmed and refreshed.
