This is a wonderful 6 flat apartment building, around 100 years old, in need of much repair. The front of the apartments have beautiful French Door Windows, Juliette Balconies, and the lighting is so wonderful. The back of the apartments were demolished after the flood from the storm. 4 of the units are unfurnished, but we are flexible, and could provide furniture if desired. The building is mostly vacant, except for myself and my big dog. There are also two huge basements, and 5 garage space

Nick J.

Great host and very versatile space. I would definitely book again

Tim M.

Gary was awesome and the space was awesome. Highly recommend!

MIREYA A.

Great space! Tons of natural light and plenty of room to move around in. Also, great communication throughout the process.

Daniel S.

For my first time using Giggster, it couldnt have gone any better. Mikalai was very helpful before, during, and after i had rented the space for a photoshoot/proposal. Detailed instructions and even videos were provided on how to get in the lot and building. He was super easy to work with and answered all my questions prior to booking.

daniel a.

Love this studio space! And Kambua is a fantastic host to work with!

Zoë F.

Sun and Andrea were absolutely wonderful to work with! The space was perfect for filming - quiet, street parking, and close to the city without dealing with city issues. It was clean and spacious, exactly as pictured. Would film there again anytime!

Sarah P.

Clean, well maintained and stocked. Kind and responsive host. A bit warm because of the single pane windows, but that can't be avoided. Just keep it in mind if you're shooting on a day with temperatures over 85. Totally worth the vintage warehouse feel.

David M.

This location was great for our needs. My friends put on a great show, our guests had an easy time finding it and parking. Hosts were warm, welcoming, and accommodating.
