> I just spent a week living in an Airbnb with four other people.

I can see how it may be really cool, but I can also see how some people may hate that. Colleagues are not (always) friends, a week is a long time, and living together (i.e. sharing an appartment) is not always easy.

But I do agree that meeting in person once in a while is important. Maybe it doesn't have to be a full week, and maybe it doesn't have to be a shared appartment (hotel rooms keep some distance), though.

It's also possible to have "remote coffees", and just chat with colleagues remotely.
