Eric's listing

Advantages:
- Beautiful brick wall, aesthetically appealing furniture (a variety as well), texture contrast from floor to ceiling, clear style (rustic + modern).
- Ceiling height and beams allow for lights and diffusers to be mounted high above talent, without any stands. Plugs available on top of the beams, so no extension chords required to mount lights up high (ladder available).
- Space enough to remove furniture from shots and increase minimal look.
- Plenty of natural light for varying needs
Challenges:
- The narrow room makes shooting from side-to-side challenging, as it makes background separation more difficult to achieve without extremely shallow DoF (even with a 2.8 35mm on a FF sensor).
- The windows on the street side are not centered on the wall, which can disrupt symmetry.
- Windows are not very sound proof, I would suggest sound-proof inserts for better audio performance.
- Skylight is lets in natural light of course, but you may (as I had to) have to block it off with a sheet across the ceiling beams for continuity sake.
Overall:
- Excellent space for many uses, plenty of variety in one room, great price, beautiful location in town. Highly recommend!

This room is centrally located to lots of eateries in Byward Market. The room itself is bright and spacious even with 18 of us in the room. Eric was extremely helpful and an attentive host.

Eric was a wonderful host and excellent at keeping me informed about the plan. We had a productive working session at this location. The location and the room is charming however, I would suggest that small tweaks be made to improve the overall amenities in the space. The bathrooms did not look very clean (might be the age of the building) however, the floors, doors etc. need a good scrub.

Eric was really easy to work with and very helpful when we had to make some changes to scheduling. I would highly recommend working with Eric if you're looking for a great offsite meeting space in the heart of the market.

Returned for our second rental! The space is great, and working with Eric always goes smoothly.
