I've stayed everywhere from luxury hotels in Florence to community hostels in Phuket. Rarely have I felt so unwelcome simply for trying to connect with people. I was enjoying a conversation with a Persian woman about the Art Renewal Center and the revival of classical art when a group of college students interrupted us. One was an aspiring fashion designer whom I'd offered to introduce to actor friends in Madrid who needed costumes for a production. A student asked the woman whether everything was okay. She said yes, but the group led her away anyway. Thinking I was welcome to join them, I followed. When they closed their circle, I lightly tapped someone on the shoulder to make room. The response was immediate: "Get your @#$%$ hand off me!" Then came a public accusation: "You're making everybody feel bad, everybody you talked to!" I was stunned. My conversations had seemed genuinely enjoyable, including one with a woman from Brussels about romance novels, local food, and balloon flights over Toledo. Neither woman had expressed discomfort to me; quite the contrary. The students later complained to hostel staff that I'd been "touching them inappropriately", apparently referring to the gentle shoulder tap and a polite goodbye kiss on a woman's hand. I'd intended both as friendly, courteous gestures, consistent with the traditional manners I grew up with. They also matched the official code of manners in local Romanian culture (I always check before my visits). I understand that others may have different boundaries around physical contact, which I would have respected had they been communicated to me without the loud outburst of aggression. The contrast in our worldviews added to my bewilderment. In the same social setting, students freely exchanged stories about doing drugs, hanging out with gangsters, and "being with" four guys at once. I didn't judge or confront them over it; I'd come precisely to meet people from different backgrounds and understand different perspectives. Yet my own stories, from art and novels and teaching to business, travel, and romantic adventures, seemed to make me unwelcome. I've had the privilege of traveling widely, meeting remarkable people, participating in entrepreneurial circles, and connecting with artists and writers from different cultures. One of the things I've always enjoyed most is exchanging experiences with people whose lives are very different from my own. And everywhere I went, people loved to tell stories of their achievements and listen to my own. Everywhere but here. Perhaps the distance in our upbringing and worldview was simply too great. But I wish they'd shown me the same willingness to understand that I'd tried to extend to them. I'd even offered professional introductions that might help their careers. I came in good faith, hoping to learn from others and share whatever experiences might be useful in return, including how I acquired some of my wealth: information many people would gladly pay egregious sums to learn in private masterminds, yet I offered it to them for free. Given all this, their recompensing my goodwill by publicly accusing me of upsetting "everyone" felt especially unfair. In fact, it felt downright hypocritical. They were the ones who intrusively barged into my otherwise pleasant conversation, even after the woman I was talking with told them everything was okay. They were the ones who yelled at me rudely in response to my respectful gesture of requesting inclusion; a friendly shoulder tap that they inflated out of all proportion. Yet now, they were the ones accusing me of making "everyone" feel bad, right as they were themselves intent on publicly humiliating me. I told them as much. I'd heard this was a place "like no other", where people of different means and backgrounds could mingle freely, regardless of wealth or status. I hoped to encounter new perspectives, make meaningful connections, and find inspiration for my writing. Instead, an initially lovely evening ended with me feeling humiliated, misrepresented, and profoundly unwelcome...like nowhere else, indeed. To the staff's credit, they handled the complaint very professionally, preventing the matter from escalating. But the memory remains that, of all the many places I've been to, I felt most unwanted in this place, alleged to be most welcoming. I won't be returning.

"Premium location and fantastic environment"

An amazing space with a fantastic vibe. Both the common areas and the offices are comfortable, the coffee is great, and you can tell they daily take care of every detail. The environment is highly professional, quiet, and perfect for focusing. Additionally, the location is unbeatable, the views are stunning and the staff is super nice.

Une expérience absolument lamentable avec Spaces Étoile, 54-56 avenue Hoche à Paris. Je déconseille fortement cet établissement à toute entreprise qui recherche un service de domiciliation sérieux. Pendant près de deux ans, j’ai payé chaque mois une prestation de réexpédition de courrier qui n’a été effectuée que DEUX FOIS, et uniquement après mes propres relances ! Résultat : près de 800 € facturés pour un service qui n’a quasiment jamais été assuré. Et le plus scandaleux, c’est que le courrier arrivait bel et bien chez eux ! Lorsque je les ai contactés en début d’année pour leur demander s’ils avaient du courrier pour ma société, ils m’ont confirmé que oui et ont fini par me l’expédier. J’ai alors reçu une quantité importante de lettres qui dataient de 2024, 2025 et 2026 ! Cela démontre clairement qu’ils réceptionnaient bien mon courrier, mais qu’ils le conservaient au lieu de me le réexpédier comme le prévoyait la prestation que je payais chaque mois. Il fallait donc que je les relance moi-même pour qu’ils daignent m’envoyer mon propre courrier ! Le pire, c’est que malgré mes nombreuses réclamations et la remontée du dossier jusqu’à la direction du groupe, ils refusent catégoriquement de me rembourser. Leur proposition ? M’offrir les prochains mois d’un service qu’ils n’ont justement jamais été capables d’assurer correctement. Une proposition que je trouve tout simplement indécente ! Et les problèmes ne s’arrêtent pas là. Ma banque m’a contacté le mois dernier pour m’informer que les courriers adressés à ma société lui avaient été retournés avec la mention NPAI, alors que mon entreprise était toujours officiellement domiciliée chez eux et que les prélèvements mensuels continuaient sans aucun problème. J’ai également rencontré d’importantes difficultés concernant la réception de courriers fiscaux et administratifs. Cette gestion m’a notamment contraint à effectuer un déplacement à Paris, avec plus de 500 € de frais supplémentaires que je n’ai même pas demandé à me faire rembourser. Quant au service client, il est à l’image du reste : plusieurs semaines pour obtenir une réponse, des relances à répétition et une messagerie téléphonique tellement saturée qu’il était parfois impossible de laisser le moindre message. Cerise sur le gâteau : lorsque j’ai finalement saisi le siège du groupe, on m’a expliqué que le centre affirmait n’avoir reçu aucun courrier pour ma société et que la suppression des futurs frais constituait leur décision définitive. Une réponse d’autant plus aberrante qu’ils m’avaient eux-mêmes expédié, quelques mois auparavant, une quantité importante de courriers accumulés depuis 2024 ! Encaisser chaque mois pour un service jamais rendu, conserver des courriers importants pendant des mois, des années, refuser ensuite de rembourser les sommes perçues et considérer le dossier comme clos : voilà l’expérience que j’ai vécue avec cette société. J’ai finalement quitté cet établissement. Une perte de temps considérable, des frais supplémentaires et des conséquences potentiellement graves pour mon entreprise. Un manque de professionnalisme et de considération pour les clients que je trouve absolument scandaleux. À fuir !
