A great studio, fully equipped with everything you’d need. The location is pretty good too, really close to the station and easy to get to. The whole mood and vibe of the place is really cool and helps build the right atmosphere for photos. Most of all the host is simply amazing, really friendly and helpful! Probably one of the best studios out there!
