Chose cheap coliving over a proper apartment in Bangkok and almost lost my mind

I had to pick between a $300/month coliving spot in a converted condo or a $450 studio in a real building. I went cheap because the photos looked fine and they promised good wifi. First week was okay but by week three I was sharing a bathroom with 8 people and the common area smelled like old fish every night. The wifi throttled at 6pm every day so I couldn't do client calls. After 6 weeks I moved out mid-month and lost my deposit of $150. That $450 studio would have saved me so much stress and time. Anyone else get burned by a coliving place that looked great online but was a nightmare in real life?

Used to think people overreacted. You changed my mind. That sounds brutal.

Yeah, cheaping out on anything just costs you more later.
