Mik Space Introduce

Mik Space is located at 538 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237, USA. They can be contacted at (732) 532-9192 or +1 732-532-9192.

Mik Space offers studio rental at reasonable rates, providing a space suitable for various shooting needs. However, customer reviews indicate several potential issues that prospective renters should be aware of.

Several customers have reported that the studio was dusty and that some equipment was not functioning correctly. Additionally, there have been complaints regarding unprofessional communication from the host, including condescending messages and late-night paragraphs. Cleanliness has also been a concern, with some customers stating the studio did not appear to have been cleaned recently.

Parking in the area is described as difficult, and the studio website does not provide parking advice. Furthermore, the studio is not soundproof, and noise from neighboring rooms or the street may be audible. This can be problematic for projects requiring clear audio recording. Customers have also reported issues with other renters not adhering to studio rules regarding noise levels.

Despite these drawbacks, the studio's space and affordability may be suitable for certain projects. However, it is recommended that renters do not rely on the studio's equipment and are aware of the potential for noise disruptions.

Key features and potential issues to consider:

Reasonable rental rates.
Suitable space for shooting.
Potential dust and cleanliness issues.
Possible equipment malfunctions.
Unprofessional communication from host reported.
Difficult parking in the area.
Studio is not soundproof; noise disruptions are possible.
Potential for other renters not adhering to studio rules.

Prospective renters should carefully consider these factors before booking Mik Space.

studio was really dusty with equipment not working, host unfortunately became very condescending over messaging and proceeded to send me paragraphs at 4AM after our conversation ended. didn’t realize other folks were having issues with professionalism in their communication, but wanting to warn others so you don’t have to deal with this! probably fine to book if you need a small space and are okay with not relying on the equipment working, but also didn’t seem like it had been cleaned in awhile.

Nice space for shooting, for reasonable rates. For people driving to the studio, note that parking is pretty awful, and I didn't see anything on the studio website about advice for parking, which I feel to be an oversight. The studio definitely suited the purposes of my project, and I am happy with the shots I got. However, I wasn't fully satisfied with my experience, due to the group of people who rented the room next to us. I know this is not necessarily the fault of the studio owner, but it should be noted that other people may not be following or even aware of all the rules. During my shooting time, the group next to us interrupted us TWICE to knock on our door and complain about the music we were playing at a reasonably low volume from one of our phones. They justified their intrusion by claiming they were filming interviews and could hear the music. In the rules on the studio website, rule #19 clearly states: "Please note: you will not be able to record clear sound in our studios. The spaces are not soundproof, it’s loft buildings, there might be some noise from the street and from the neighbors." Out of courtesy, we shut off our music the first time, giving them the 20 minutes they requested to finish shooting. The second time they knocked, we got annoyed because we had already given them 20 minutes even though we weren't obligated to do so. Even though I was starting to get pretty upset because they were interrupting my project and I paid to rent the space just like they did (while WE followed all the rules), we STILL shut our music off for another 20 minutes. For goodness sakes, read the rules people. Please note that there is NO rule on the website that forbids the playing of music. This was particularly annoying, because I was shooting portraits that involve dance and gesture (examples attached). Playing music was an integral part of the process in helping me get the shots I needed for my thesis project.

just wow! a dozen of VERSATILE studios in one building, cyc-walls, wabi-sabi, backdrops of idk how many colors, is there even anything they don’t have for a photoshoot? 😳👍🏻

Great studio, very clean and with lots of natural lighting. Owner was kind enough to go above and beyond in helping me with a small issue that came up! Highly recommend this space and owner!

Very unprofessional!!!! I’ve been apart of many shoots in spaces of much higher caliber than this one. My gripe is less about the actual space and more about the studio representative and the negative unprofessional energy she gave off and left behind. I’ve never booked a studio that wasn’t accessible to me 10-15mins ahead of time to do a walk through and go over house rules/ do’s and don’ts. Not only did she arrive late she returned 10 mins early to cut our session short. Professionalism is extremely important and money is something that if you lose it you can earn it back but time is different once it’s lost it’s gone forever not just for you but for all parties involved. Please brush up on studio tact and use this constructive criticism of your establishment to do better.
