Spacious, quiet, and clean. We had a very small shoot and needed a space to do some mock presentations/speaking engagements. This space suited all of our needs. I felt like it was a lot bigger in person. It was very nice that the majority of furniture could be moved around. (except for the large table) We brought our own lights to give a spotlight effect on the speaker. The big windows were great for natural light and the carpet captured sound nicely. All around, a very pleasant experience- Wade was a very helpful and kind human! would use it again.

It was a wonderful experience shooting here. Not only was the apartment beautiful, the owner was very accommodating and easy going. Solange has helped me a ton since I first booked. I had to move my production dates several times and each time she was very understanding.

Planned my surprise engagement proposal here with a small group of friends. Highly recommend this place if you want something a bit more private yet chic and elegant. Jo, the venue manager, was wonderful to work with. She's very professional and quick with her replies. I'll be back for more events :).
