FAQs

  • OPTIONAL LOADING ZONE: (open 7am-7pm except SUN) 

    If you have items to unload before parking, you can pull into the back of the building to temporarily park and unload. To access it, pull into the alley located on S. Los Angeles Street in between our building and the building next door. You will see a ramp up to the freight elevator. This is a 20-minute loading zone. Once you finish unloading, you can park at one of the parking lots nearby.

    PARKING: 

    There are several paid lots all around the studio, as well as street parking. If you have cash, the closest lot is directly across the street from the front door and the loading dock exit. It’s a grey building. This lot is cash only and is $8.   

    If you don’t have cash, I recommend parking at “Perfect Parking” located on S. Los Angeles in between 6th and 7th street. It’s $7 and you can pay with cash or credit card.   

    CLOSEST LOT THAT ACCOMMODATES LARGE VEHICLES:  There is an open air lot right next to the building next door on S Los Angeles St. This lot is a $12 max daily fee. To access it, drive up the alley beside 719 S Los Angeles St (on the left side of the 719 building if you are facing the main entrance). There is usually a parking sign pointing down the alley. You can pay via the Park Up app. Signs in the parking lot will prompt you on how to do this.
