Host rules

✖︎ RESTRICTIONS:

- Minimum age to book is 25.
- All events must be limited to your peer group, and not the general public.
- NO DJs, NOR bringing your own speakers. We have a noise capacity in order to be courteous neighbours, so we include our own speakers into evert rental. For this reason, we DO NOT ALLOW any outside speakers in our space. Noise complaint fines are issued by the city of Toronto and begin at $500.
- Failure to respect this may result in police presence and an immediate eviction from our unit.
.
.
✖︎ A FEW SIMPLE RULES, PLEASE:

1. Indoor shoes only (or shoes off). Heels for women = OK if wiped down at the door.
2. Keep our entrance door CLOSED at all times.
3. All upstairs areas are strictly off-limits.
4. CAREFUL with the curtains; they're irreplaceable.
- No food or drinks near the curtains nor on windowsills.
- Do not touch curtains if you've handled glitter, baby oil, or shimmer, etc. Basically just stay away from the curtains ?
5. Never let anyone you don't know into the studio, regardless of who they say they are.
.
.
✖︎ CLEANING:

- We do NOT charge cleaning fees.
- Why? - Cleaning is very expensive and costs a lot of money, so we'll save you the fees and us the hassle of trying to schedule it right after your event. Please leave the space CLEANER than you found it. Put everything back where you found it, and before leaving please sweep the floor for the sake of the next guest. You must also take out all of your own garbage and leave a fresh garbage bag inside of our bin for the next renter.
- If someone spills a drink, please immediately mop it up (and use some water if it was a sticky drink spill). It's SUPER hard to clean sticky floors, so please be responsible.

Cancellation policy: Standard 60 day with Grace Period

We held our baby shower at Daniel's venue. The venue was stunning and Daniel was very accommodating and quick to respond to all of our questions. The guests had a fantastic time and will definitely keep this venue in mind for future events!

Baby Shower · 25 guests · November 2022

The place itself was already beautiful so not much decoration needed! Danny (the host) was super nice, helpful, and lovely!

The street parking could be a problem if you have a lot of guests with cars - we couldn’t find a single slot available. Though there’s a green P nearby.
