    Accommodation

    The accommodation is a small but well set up private room located downstairs in the organisation's building. Custom-built and spotlessly clean, it has a comfortable bed, good wifi, and cute touches. While the room is private, you should expect some hustle and bustle in the main areas outside during work hours as the Makerspace, Ctrl P + Space, and main entry are outside your room door.

    There’s a bathroom steps from the room. It is clean, has a nice shower with hot water, and isn’t shared by residents but may be used by people visiting during the day.
