What is the noise level like at Ivy Street?We describe the noise level of Ivy Street as being somewhere between a library and a coffee shop. We want you to feel able to take a quiet phone call or respectfully chat with a fellow coworker but without the chaos and commotion of a coffee shop that can break our focus and productivity.
-
Can I leave my stuff overnight in the space?Yes. If you are signed up on our Dedicated plan, you can leave anything that fits on, around, and underneath your desk. Additionally, we provide small lockers, in which you may safely leave any additional belongings.
