Phone booths, meeting rooms, monitors -- all you need essentially.However, some problems that prevented me extending my membership:- It is very noisy because of the A/C- It is very cold (a couple degrees colder than the rest of the Staples store) -- people are wearing jackets and I was freezing most of the time- In November/December, the network connectivity was very unstable for a couple of weeks, I had meetings where I presented being interrupted. My two requests for a discount because I essentially couldn’t use the space were ignored.- The bathrooms are not cleaned regularly and many times pretty gross and/or clogged

The Staples Studio is comfortable, convenient, clean, and well laid-out with offices, quiet spaces and collaborative spaces. The amenities are excellent. The manager, Shan Achhiwala, really cares and it shows; he does a great job making sure everyone feels welcome and has everything they need. He has gone way above and beyond on multiple occasions to accommodate special requests. Overall a great place to work!

I came here on a Monday afternoon for fingerprinting. My appointment was at 12:30 and I arrived at 12:20. There were about 4-5 people there waiting ahead of me. As I was waiting the person doing the fingerprinting was able to help 3 people before 1 o'clock came around and the lady said she was going on lunch and would be back at 1:30. There was no one else at the store who was able to continue fingerprinting people apparently?? At this time more people had arrived and we're waiting for their fingerprinting as well. I talked to the two girls waiting beside me and their appointments were at 12:20 and 12:40. I understand that people need to take lunch breaks but it's pretty ridiculous to allow people to make appointments and then have to wait over an hour for their turn.

The Asian guy with glasses behind the UPS counter in Staples was very rude. He threw my return package on the floor and was yelling at me for improperly putting the tape on it. Rather than let me know how to fix it or help, he threw the package and said it probably won't make it to the destination and just rolled his eyes and sent me out as he mumbled under his breath.

This is an excellent alternative to working from home and (for me) lends itself to focused boosts of creativity and getting things done. Superior service, cleanliness and offerings too. Shan, the Studio Manager is the BEST and ready to help whenever I need anything. Thank you Shan! I'm very pleased. A win-win!

My wife and I had the need for a co-working space close to our son’s summer camp, and the Staples Studio was the perfect solution. Shan Achhiwala was tremendously informative and helpful. He answered all of our questions about the space, and then once we began using the space this summer he provided a superior level of guidance and support. Overall it was a fantastic experience that fit our needs exactly, and Shan’s care and dedication to his clients is unsurpassed. Many thanks, Shan!

My wife and I worked at this Staples Studio location for several months, and we loved it, and we highly recommend it.1) The space is very clean and well maintained.2) The desks are new and clean. Users have access to monitors. The chairs are comfortable.3) Free printing, sodas, coffee, and snacks.4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, this Staples Studio has the BEST office manager, Shan. He is a great manager who cares for the office community, and is always there to help. I have known Shan for several years as I frequently visited this Staples location before the co-working space was set up. I always thought that he was a cordial sales person who truly wants his customers to have a good experience, and his interpersonal skills truly shine as an office manager. He will help customers/potential customers as much as he can.If we still lived near this location, we certainly would have continued using this Staples Studio. We highly recommend it.

I had a critically important Zoom event coming up and the sound kept breaking down on the Internet at my home. I had heard about Staples Studio so I called my local Staples At Alewife Brook Parkway and experienced quality customer service from the moment I called.Shan Achhiwala, the Studio Manager was knowledgeable, helpful - and friendly. I ended up going there three times and the picture and sound on my Zoom worked perfectly. All the Staples people I met were helpful.The facilities were splendid. From now on, if the need arises, I know where to go. Tip - go in the evening if you can. - cheaper.

Staples Studio in Cambridge is a great place to work and part of the reason for this is the manager of the space, Shan Achhiwala, who always goes above and beyond to make sure you're all set with everything you need. He is extremely helpful, makes you feel part of the studio community and takes the time to get to know your business to help introduce you to potential people and companies who might benefit you. In fact he has helped me grow my business significantly through introductions and more. Shan is the man and has made my experience at the Cambridge location a great one and I think many who use the space can agree!
