Vel A. booked a video shoot for 4 people

Creative Director
Yes, I would book again.

A great functional space for any kind of production, as it includes many amenities useful for shoots. We shot a series of educational videos in the white space and were able to get a great studio look to our shots. The host, Danny, was friendly and communicative. I’m looking forward to booking here again.

Natasha N. booked an acting class for 28 people

Actor/Writer/Creator/Speaker
No, I would not book again.

Easily accessible space with a smooth check-in process, with clear instructions everywhere and prompt and polite communication from the host from day one. The space was also warm and inviting and well decorated. Unfortunately however, it wasn’t the *cleanest* on arrival. Full smelly garbage gan, rotten food leftovers in the sink, sticky goo on the coffee table, and the Bluetooth speaker listed wasn’t working but Danny texted me the name of a different one. I think this is a great space for photoshoots but it felt a little overpriced for my workshop needs but all in all it’s a well-run business with good customer service.
