We have our office in the capital where my co-founder also lives. I live in a smaller town outside of it. Unless I move there (which is not possible due to the prices and I like my town) one of us has to commute and from a business perspective it's much better to have the office in the capital when meeting customers etc.
Before we got the office I did 6 months from home and I was highly ineffective. Remote work is just not for me.
The commute itself is rather pleasant and I can work on the train if I wish, although I mostly use the time to read HN and relax.
