Faye was super easy to communicate with! Getting into the building was a breeze and the space was beautiful and absolutely perfect for what we needed it for (a photoshoot!)
Thanks again, Faye!

***This warning is intended for all of those who are potentially considering renting this studio space.***
As an avid Airbnb user, I understand the general protocol that both owners and renters ought to abide by when conducting an agreement. Unfortunately, my first time utilizing thisopenspace was a horrific experience, primarily due to Faye's extremely unethical and manipulative behavior as a supposed "professional business woman."
Upon initial contact with Faye, we were able to quickly establish an agreement that entailed me having the studio from 3pm-2am on Saturday, May 6th, 2017. As the day approached, and 3pm rolled around, Faye contacted me asking whether or not it was possible to come at 4pm, without any mention of reimbursement for the lost, and already paid for, hour. Her reasoning stemmed from the fact that she had overbooked her previous clients and was in a rut. As a strong believer in good business relations, especially from the get-go, I decided to "take the punch" and told Faye that we would wait until the previous group had finished, before moving in. To our unpleasant surprise, the place resembled a pig-sty. The floors and counter tops had residual debris that the previous group had left behind, the multiple garbage bins were all full and needed to be taken out, and there were dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. At this point, not only did we lose an hour of our time that, once again, we paid for, but we now had to clean up the mess that the previous users had left behind. Essentially, we were now 2-3 hours behind schedule, solely because of Faye's overbooking and inability to provide her new clients with a clean studio. Once again, we took the punch.
As the night went on, Faye checked in a multitude of times (via text) to make sure that we cleaned up after our event was over, since she had new clients coming in at 6am for a photoshoot. The sheer amount of messages that she composed were overwhelming and harassing in nature (to say the least), however, I clued in that she had, again, overbooked and was short on time to inspect the studio herself. I assured Faye that her studio would be left in pristine condition.
The next day, around 2pm, Faye texted me saying that she was horrified with the condition that the studio was left in and that she had to call a plumber and a cleaning maid. Her further text messages were emotionally enraged and resembled an extremely unstable individual, a trait that impedes all successful businesses. I assured her that we had tidied up and that the studio was in immaculate condition when we left, but that I was willing to come by to inspect the supposed "mess" with her. Unfortunately, Faye never replied. Instead, I was contacted by thisopenspace at which point I was told that $175 of my damage deposit was going to be deducted. Quite unsatisfied with the verdict, I asked to see the plumbing and cleaning service invoices, as I am entitled, both morally and legally, to know what I am potentially paying for. Thisopenspace agreed, and contacted Faye, requesting the invoices. A few days later they sent me a picture of a cheque, with no ID number, no issuing persons name or signature, and told me that that's what Faye sent as proof of payment for the cleaning services. Furthermore, the plumbing was now apparently done by her, so there was no invoice for that, nor were there receipts for justifying a $75 self-plumbing service. However, there were pictures that Faye sent to thisopenspace as "proof" of the mess. The pictures portrayed a poorly staged, and clearly set-up environment, one that could have only been created by an incompetent and raging individual. It was evident that Faye was attempting to steal more money.
In the the end, Faye's overbooking tendencies and desperate attempts at stealing the damage deposit only led me to conclude that she is in financial turmoil of sorts, either debt or personal issues. The damage deposit has unfortunately been taken, however, legal actions are underway.
Thus, if you do not enjoy being manipulated, lied to, overwhelmed, and overall have a sense for justice, I would not recommend renting Faye's studio. Her attitude towards doing business is disgusting and, well, so is the back alley view from the balcony that she hides so very well in all of her photos.
