Burned by a bad PG before

[AnnaLibert 0]

Last year I booked a PG in Pune without visiting it and ended up with slow Wi‑Fi, noisy neighbours and no proper desk. It made remote work almost impossible. I do not want to repeat that mistake, so please suggest reliable coliving options for digital nomads in India and tell me what details matter most before paying a deposit.

Booking a PG without seeing it first is a gamble I would not take again either. I did something similar in Bangalore and spent my first week balancing a laptop on a dining chair while the router sat in another room. Eventually I started looking at coliving instead, and a colleague who works remotely suggested Coliving PG as a more reliable option because the rooms are furnished and designed for people who actually need to work from home. Before paying a deposit, I would ask for a live video tour, request a recent speed test, confirm the desk and chair situation, check quiet hours, and get every charge, including maintenance, meals and notice period, written into the agreement.

Really appreciate you sharing this. The dining chair detail made me laugh because that was basically my setup in Pune too, and it wrecked my back within a week. Asking for a live video tour is a great idea, especially since photos can hide a lot. I will also make sure every extra charge is written down before I transfer any deposit, because that is where I got burned last time. Quiet hours and a proper desk are now at the top of my checklist. I will look into Colive as one of the options and compare it with a couple of other places before committing to anything.
