Love this SPACE! It’s gorgeous and the lighting is naturally superb!
I wish there was flexibility with an area foe eating and drinking and there is an add-on which is fair. I just would love for that to be included.

Good view, decent backdrop & cove.
The equipment is mediocre, far better equipped studios in NYC, but not bad for the price. The biggest downfall is that EVERYTHING is threatened with a fee. $200 for this, $50 for that which I understand to keep it tidy, but you don’t feel like you can breath in the studio without fear of being charged. Then I was given the wrong code for the kit closet which which led to me not being able to use the equipment I hired the studio for. In return for their mess, the offer of 30mins free, an HOUR AFTER I’D LEFT. Would not use this studio again.
