Bright SOMA loft. Ample natural light
available by phone twice when I wanted to reach him. Sound from the street sometimes was audible but we only briefly had to stop filming for a few moments to wait for a loud motor to pass. Great hosts...

Modern SOMA 3rd Floor with Rooftop View
This is a beautiful space ( we filmed on top floor), just imagine glass everywhere. The space was smaller than we realized from the photos, but still workable. There is a large patio outside for staging gear and having people hang out that dont need to be on set. The biggest...

Modern Penthouse Conference Room with Rooftop, Near Moscone
