Keep it clean
One of the key points of living together is creating a tidy, clean and welcoming space for everyone in the community. Living with others comes with many benefits and each and everyone is responsible to create and maintain the „home sweet home“ atmosphere in the house. TomoDomo provides a weekly professional cleaning of the shared spaces. However, it’s important that everyone clean as they go, help keeping the spaces clean and tidy. We love to follow the rule: Leave the common area in better condition than you found it, especially after you hosted an event.
Please see our detailed house rules here.

Socializing
One of the most popular activities in the Coliving is....Cooking, inspiring, chatting (and cleaning: ) together. We believe that sharing a meal is one of the best ways to build a community. It is the time of the day that you get to relax, talk about the experiences of your day and your plans for the future.
Find dinners and events announced on the Slack channel #activities. Please announce if you are planning a gathering so others can join too and are aware. Please announce external guests in the Slack channel #visitors.
