Best Co-Living Space in Valencia: My Experience
Remote work isn’t just about the work…
It’s about how you live. Not just where your laptop opens, but how your days actually feel. Being a Digital nomad means having the freedom to work from anywhere, but “anywhere” can look a little lonely sometimes.
You might meet people in cafes, or at co-working spots, but it's difficult to make real connections when you’re done with hostels, but find hotels and Airbnb too lonely.
Why Where You Work From Matters
That's where co-living is the sweet spot, especially if they’re done right!
And your ‘just right’ may of course be different to mine, but I found what I was looking for at FOLKs Coliving in Valencia.
When I arrived in Valencia, I was excited but tired. I didn’t want to waste another week trying to find the best cafes with WiFi or navigating a city alone. I craved ease, connection, and a better flow to my day.
That’s exactly what I found in Ruzafa, the city’s vibrant, artsy neighborhood filled with charm and creativity.
Here’s what a typical day looked like:
Morning coffee in the sunny communal kitchen, chatting with housemates
Deep focus work in a quiet, well-designed coworking area
Lunch around the corner at one of the city’s incredible local spots
Afternoon cycle and chill in the park
Evenings full of tapas, laughter, and real conversation
The lifestyle contrast was clear. No cubicles. No burnout. No bland routine. Just a way of working and living that finally felt right.
What Makes FOLKs Coliving Different
You can find a place to stay almost anywhere. But Folks co living isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to belong.
Here’s what stood out to me:
Prime Location in Ruzafa
Central to everything you want. Trendy bars, cafes, and the cultural heart of Valencia are all within walking distance.
Thoughtful Design
The space actually feels like home. It’s warm, intentional, and nothing like the generic, mismatched Airbnb setups many digital nomads settle for. Oh, and spotlessly clean too!
Organic Community
No forced fun or cheesy team-building games. Just 4 rooms, with real people living intentionally, connecting naturally, and supporting each other.
Smooth Living
Fast WiFi. Regular cleaning. Shared spaces that are clean and functional. Everything is set up so you can focus on your work and your life, not logistics.
If You're Not There Yet, You're Not Alone
Maybe you're still scrolling job boards that lead nowhere. Maybe you've applied to dozens of remote roles with zero replies. Maybe you’re beginning to question whether this lifestyle is even accessible.
The truth is, finding remote work that actually fits your lifestyle is possible. You just need the right roadmap.
