Alfonso was great to work with: professional, timely and very accommodating. The space is absolutely gorgeous with amazing views, and a good amount of space for a small/medium film production. Our short film definitely came to life thanks to this location!
This home is a gem to film in! It's beautifully outfitted and has a wonderful layout. The hosts are amazing to work with - I will definitely be back for future productions! Thank you for having us!
This location is gorgeous! Alfonso and Cord were wonderful hosts! Our stylist was super thankful because this location had so many props that she could use. Most of the items that she purchased went completely unopened! One thing that's worth mentioning is that the air flow in this location is WONDERFUL. It was a warm sunny day, but we were cool throughout our photo shoot. Will definitely be coming back for future projects!
I absolutely love shooting in this house. It’s a beautiful location and the host is fantastic. My crew and I have filmed here a number of times and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great home location to shoot in.
Alfonso and Cord were great. Very responsive, organized, and easy to work with. The space is very unique and exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, well kept and overall an enjoyable space to work in. We were filming a video here and everyone involved, including our clients, commented how great the space was. We would come back again.
Loved this space!
