What coliving actually means

A coliving is not a hostel and it is not a shared apartment. You get a private room with your own bathroom, and you share the parts of a house that work better when they are big: a full kitchen, a rooftop, a living room and a coworking area. The building is run like a hotel — front desk, housekeeping, someone to call when the water heater fails — but it is priced and structured like housing.

That combination solves a specific problem. Renting a normal apartment in Mexico almost always requires a guarantor who owns property in the city (an aval), proof of Mexican income, and a twelve-month lease. If you are staying one to six months, that door is closed to you no matter how good your finances look abroad.

At roughly 19 MXN to the dollar, $7,900 MXN is about $415 USD a month. The monthly rate applies to stays of 30 days or longer and carries no hidden charges: no year-long deposit, no platform commission, and no separate accounts for electricity, water or internet.

What the rate includes

  • A private room with its own bathroom. You never share a bathroom.
  • All utilities. Electricity, water, gas and internet are inside the price.
  • Fiber internet over 200 Mbps — enough for HD video calls and for several people working at once.
  • Built-in coworking, free to use, with no separate membership.
  • Regular housekeeping in your room and in the shared areas.
  • Pool, rooftop, full kitchen, laundry and private parking.
  • On-site front desk and support, in English and Spanish.

The honest summary: under two weeks, Airbnb wins; over a year and wanting your own space, renting wins; and for the one-to-six-month band where most remote workers actually live, coliving wins.

Who it works for

  • Digital nomads and remote workers spending a season in the city.
  • Business travelers on projects that run for weeks or months.
  • Exchange and graduate students.
  • Anyone relocating who needs something flexible while they look for a permanent place.

Frequently asked questions

What does the monthly coliving rate include?
A private ensuite room, all utilities, fiber internet, regular housekeeping, and access to the coworking space, the pool, the rooftop, the equipped kitchen, the laundry and the parking. There is no year-long deposit and no guarantor required: this is lodging, not a lease.
How is the internet? Is it good enough for video calls?
We have fiber internet at over 200 Mbps, enough for HD video calls, large uploads and several people working at once. It is one of the reasons Guadalajara works well as a remote-work base.
Is there a coworking space inside Nora?
Yes, the coworking space is inside the property and free for guests to use. You do not need a separate membership or to leave the building to work.
How is a coliving different from an Airbnb?
With an Airbnb you rent a space and that is the whole arrangement. At a coliving like Nora you get a private room plus hotel services (housekeeping, reception, on-site support) and shared areas built for community: coworking, a shared kitchen, a rooftop and guest events. There is also flexibility: you can extend month to month with no lease and no guarantor.
What is the minimum and maximum stay?
We accept stays from a single night up to six months. There are three rate types: nightly (1 to 6 nights), weekly (7 to 29 nights) and the monthly coliving rate (30 to 180 days), the last one at a reduced all-inclusive price.
