THEATER ROOM:
Immerse yourself in cinematic bliss within our theater room adorned with a grand 10-foot projection screen that conveniently utilizes Roku for media streaming. The Roku is thoughtfully set up in guest mode, allowing you to effortlessly add your preferred streaming subscriptions for a personalized entertainment experience. Rest assured, the system automatically logs you out after your stay, and while no streaming services are included, the possibilities for your viewing pleasure are endless.

Indulge in the full theater experience with easy-to-use surround sound—simply adjust the volume to your liking. Complementing your movie night or game day, we've included a popcorn maker and a candy vending machine. For your convenience, a small complimentary supply of popcorn will be available alongside additional ingredients to enhance your snacking delight.

Our theater room is the perfect backdrop for enjoying movies, thrilling sports events, or binge-watching your favorite shows. Comfortably accommodate yourself and your guests with ample seating options, including three couches, eight electric movie theater-style recliners, six countertop stools, and four chairs in the kitchen area. Sit back, relax, and relish an unparalleled entertainment experience in this inviting space.

KITCHEN:
The spacious kitchen perfectly complements the theater experience! While it doesn't include an oven/stove, it's equipped with almost everything else you might need. We've thoughtfully provided two countertop stove burners and an air fryer to compensate for the absence of a stove/oven. Additionally, indulge in the convenience of a Pizzazz pizza maker because what pairs better with a movie than a piping hot pizza?

You'll find the kitchen fully stocked with silverware, cups, plates, bowls, kitchen utensils, pots, pans, and more, ensuring you have all the essentials at your fingertips. There's a cozy small high-top table with seating for two, along with a low-top table and six stools available at the dining bar for your dining convenience.

BEDROOM: The bedroom is positioned down a hallway from the back section of the theater room. This shared space includes two queen beds and a twin-over-twin bunk bed, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements as well as a 50 inch smart tv with Roku. The bathroom is also located within this area for easy access.

Parking: parking is not included with the unit but there is ample paid parking available at meters outside (mon-sat, sunday is free!) as well as multiple parking ramps within 2 blocks including one on the backside of the same building.

EVENTS:
For those looking to have an event at the space (corporate party, bachelor/bachelorette party, large get together etc) please send an inquiry with details. We are able to adjust check in/out times and make different arrangements to suit your needs!

Guests will access the unit using a key & fob that will be retrieved from a lockbox outside the complex.

Originally serving as a community room for the complex, this space boasts a unique layout, setting it apart from your typical apartment or traditional venue. We aim to provide transparency regarding its unconventional aspects, which contribute to its slightly more intriguing setup compared to standard spaces.

Unique Notes:
> The unit does not have a shower. The bathroom is more of a commercial style that you would find in an office or restaurant
> There is not in-unit laundry but there is free laundry on the basement level
> There is no oven/stove but we did add an air fryer and countertop burners
> There is only one bedroom and it's separated by a hallway and a curtain rather than a door.
> The lights in the theater room also control the lights in the bedroom but we have plenty of night lights and lamps in the bedroom if people are enjoying a flick while others are in the bedroom.
> There is not a closet since it was not originally setup to be a livable area.
> The unit does not have exterior windows

Occupancy - the unit can sleep 6 in beds (2 in each queen and 1 on each bunk level) but also has 2 couches that are comfortable for sleeping if so desired. However due to the nature of the space, you are able to have more guests to enjoy your party, event or special night. If you have more than 8 guests please inquire.

*Note* - this can be booked just as the theater room (this listing) with the one bedroom of sleeping quarters or we have a separate listing that also includes a studio directly across the hall that has in-unit laundry, a shower and two additional queen beds increasing sleeping capacity to 14!

PARTY FEE: Although our space is perfect for hosting gatherings, please note that disruptive or unruly parties are strictly prohibited. Engaging in such behavior may lead to the cancellation of your reservation and could incur a fee of up to $1000. We enthusiastically welcome guests who aim to enjoy the amenities while maintaining respect for our neighbors within the complex!

In town family fun
Had grandkids over for snacks and a movie on Friday night. Plenty of room, used the pizza pizza cooker for chicken nuggets, pizza rolls and mini corn dogs. It was perfect! Saturday night we hosted a murder mystery dinner party for my granddaughter turning 30. It was a hit! Loved the space, next time we would rent the companion space as well for a full bathroom option.
