Lovely place on a somewhat quiet street in Downtown LA. The pictures of the main (red) room are exactly what you get. Then there are the hidden gems upstairs, which really opened up new possibilities. Dark rooms with similar Victorian furniture. Totally different vibe. Our storyline pertained to the lights having been blown out, so the upstairs rooms were perfect. This place would be amazing for a horror shoot.
Now for the only disappointment... We had to arrange 3 separate locations for this particular shooting day, and after spending a couple of weeks pouring over all the possibilities we finally pulled the trigger and reserved them all at once. This location was the third that we clicked on to confirm. It was then that we saw for the first time an additional $120 surcharge for a mandatory site-rep, which was not indicated anywhere in the ad for this space. We had a choice to either just suck it up and pay it, or cancel all the reservations and try rebook somewhere else. We chose to go overbudget rather than go through the scheduling nightmare again. I never met the site rep but was told she was next door.
Other than that, it was a really good shoot. We would totally come back, now knowing the full cost, and would be able to budget accordingly.
