Where can I find a decent place to do remote work in Addis Ababa?
I will be living in Addis Ababa from the end of February until the end of August. I normally work as a software developer in Sweden and I hope to continue doing that in Ethiopia (albeit remotely).
That means that I am looking for a decent place to work. A place where I can work like that preferrably includes the following, in descending order of priority:
- Reliable outlets
- Reliable and fast internet connection (I know this can be a bit shaky at times)
- Being able to work there for 8h a day
- Comfortable chairs
- An extra display (as I'm only bringing my laptop)
- Near the Old Airport area
An internet café might be an option, if they're okay with me working there every day of the week. If there's a place where you can rent office space (something like http://www.instantoffices.com/en/se/office-space/stockholm) that would be very interesting.

One trivial point Henric, don't forget monitors cost nothing these days. Just buy one and leave it in a local cafe! :)

I can't vouch for Ethiopia but many places in Africa 3G is faster than the best available "regular" Wi-Fi, so if you struggle to find anywhere with good value Wi-Fi consider seeing if any of the networks do good value big multi-gigabyte data bundles

Regarding the vote to close: While I was not aware of Expatriates.SE, there is not a single question or tag regarding Addis Ababa or Ethiopia there at the moment. More importantly, my question would be very similar even if I was going to Addis Ababa for just a week. And as I see it, that would fit with the "working while on the go" which is included as on-topic for this site.

Look for co-working space.
Google seems to returns one co-working space in Adis Ababa.
https://www.coworker.com/ethiopia/addis-ababa/iceaddis
There might be more spaces like that, but this one turns up on top.

Co-working space seems to be the term I was looking for, thank you! This looks great. I'll wait with accepting the answer until I've had a chance to visit, but this looks very promising.
