Unfortunately, we needed to cancel our shoot due to coronavirus lockdown. Mick was incredibly responsive (needed during a quickly changing time) and gracious about it. Pleasure to work with him!

I absolutely loved working with Mick and the space. All of my guests loved the vibe and had no problem finding parking. The space literally has everything you need, and Mick is pretty flexible in regards to moving the furniture around to fit your needs. I would definitely recommend and re-book I had a Group of 14 women on a Monday evening after 5:30pm.

Terrific space, terrific host. With Peerspace we found just the type of location we were looking for and the place worked out great. Amending our original reservation was fast and easy too. We would definitely recommend this studio loft to anyone.
