Light and Airy Loft-Like House

Great Space! So much light!

This is a tricky review to write. Visually, the home worked well for our production, however, there are issues with Allison that other producers should know. From the beginning I was very upfront regarding crew size, furniture arrangement and lighting. We staged all gear outside on the patio and kept everyone outside except for essential crew and talent. I arranged to have lunch at a restaurant nearby to keep food out of the house. While wrapping out before lunch, a crew member bumped a glass globe light above his head causing it to break. A very rare and unfortunate accident, but accidents do happen. Art department quickly swept up the glass to make the area safe. I immediately called Allison to explain the situation and told her we would finish wrapping out when when we got back from lunch. At that time, only the couch was out of place. She called me at the restaurant furious that the couch was not moved yet - we were not in OT so I wasn’t sure why she was upset. I felt horrible about the broken light and offered to cut her a check on the spot. I paid her $700 at her request. Here’s the problem, after giving her the check, she said I’d never be able to rent on Peerspace again after her review of me. Yes, an actual threat after I’d done everything possible to remedy the situation. To make matters worse, she made us leave the property before our paid time was up. Her behavior was both irrational and unnecessary. I’m just relieved our client didn’t witness her melt down.

The place was great however much smaller than I expected.

AMAZING SPACE. Will definitely book again in the future

The house was modern and clean. Love the decoration. The host was welcoming and responsive. It took us some time to find parking around the neighborhood. We tried to clean up and move everything back in place and left the house a couple of minutes later than the check out time. We were charged with over time but overall we had a good experience taking photos there.

Alison is a terrific host. She was there to greet us, give us a tour of the space and show us around, and make us feel welcome. The space itself has absolutely gorgeous light. The position of the windows and the way the sunlight bounces in a bit indirectly just give a warm, glowing, luminous cast throughout. Lots of nice areas that provide a great backdrop for portraiture. The lighting was flattering, inviting and cheerful, and never harsh. Alison was very accommodating about us shifting furniture around to best fit our needs, and in fact even suggested it. As an added bonus, most of the furnishings are quite lightweight, which made making swaps/adjustments super fast and easy. Overall great experience, and if/when we need this kind of setting or backdrop again, I wouldn't hesitate to book this same space. It was great.

Beautiful space that worked perfectly for our photo shoot. Allison was extremely responsive and easy to work with.

Allison’s home was the perfect spot for our shoot! There were so many great rooms and corners that we were able to film multiple settings over the course of 3 days, and really utilize the space to the fullest. She was always welcoming to our crew and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!
