@TorontoShutterbugs: Hard Downtown Toronto Loft

About the Space

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INQUIRING; HOST WON'T TAKE CASH AS GIGGSTER'S POLICY FORBIDS THAT & CHAT MSGS ARE MONITORED. TY! August 2024 (last updated) Attention Toronto Shutterbugs (6 guests max)!!! Stunning ground floor hard loft in downtown Toronto. Corner unit with South East exposure and 16 foot ceilings. Features: red & tan brick, dark hardwood floors, pharaonic windows (x4), a massive chalkboard, heaps of books/plants, and character galore. Space is ideal for small: * Photography/videography sessions (lifestyle, social media, etc.) * Client meetings Not for: *Parties, birthdays, showers, etc. as food/beverages are not allowed in loft space NB: Host does not accept parties of 7+ (no exceptions); the walls have gotten damaged too many times previously with groups of 7 or more so I no longer even entertain the idea. PRICING (Host may need to send a Custom Offer, depending on which option is best for YOU). One hour sessions are not available as it is not financially viable what with the necessary pre-cleaning and prep time: $60 for 1-2 ppl (2 HR MIN) - Guest must select option type: Production $65 for 3-4 ppl (2 HR MIN) - Guest must select option type: Event $70 for 5-6 ppl (2 HR MIN) - Guest to select option type: Meeting *Cleaning fee is only in place to offset Giggster's site fees. Place is expected to be left as is or host will charge a real cleaning fee post reservation. OVERTIME (OT) Setup and tear down time must be factored in start/end time. OT requests & rates are charged at time and half. Please reserve accordingly as host schedules things around allocated times. SITE VISIT $30 in cash for a quick site visit, which will be returned in full (in cash) on the day of your reservation if one is made within 3 months. This is in place to deter people from just coming to visit, which happens more than one would think. NOISE There is a daycare nearby. Kids are NOT playing outside Mon-Fri from 11:45-2:45 pm. Before and after that, kids can be heard playing outside. CLEANING VS TAX FEE $25 Cleaning fee covers TAXES/SITE FEES—NOT cleanup.
