David K. booked an interview film shoot for 4 people

No, I would not book again.

I wish I had a better review to leave. The loft was fine. We had it booked from 12 noon - 4:30pm. But neither Sarah nor her two backup numbers were picking up or responding to texts or multiple messages on Peerspace. Finally, we got in (with profuse apologies) at 12:25pm, but since the interviewee we were shooting had a hard out, the delay greatly affected the interview. To leave a crew waiting outside your gate for almost a half hour after start time is unprofessional and irresponsible. I don't know what Sarah's issue with her phone was (although this doesn't explain why the peerspace messages weren't checked), but if there's a booking, she should make sure one of her three numbers was available to give us the codes to let us in. I'm very disappointed by the experience, and there was no attempt to refund any part of the rental (we were offered to stay late, but our interviewee had a hard out, this wasn't acceptable).

Ambika J. booked a video shoot for 6 people

Producer

Sarah was a great host and the space was beautiful and as represented in photos. We loved the open layout for production and ease in creating multiple small scenes within one space. Sarah answered several key questions for us very promptly leading up to our video shoot, and was flexible and helpful on the day of our shoot as well. I definitely recommend this space for any production.
