This is an absolutely lovely little apartment/condo in an ideal location. It is a 15 minute stroll from the downtown and even less to Manitoba's beautiful Legislative Building. Better yet, it is located in a very cool area - lots of pubs, restaurants, coffee shops etc. just steps from the apartment. And right in the building's backyard there is a major grocery store, a Shopper's Drug Mart, a Starbucks (the grocery store also has a Tim Horton's inside of it) and a liquor commission that has a great selection of wines. Plus, it is an easy stroll over to Corydon - where some of the city's most interesting restaurants, Italian bars, Sushi places etc co-exist in a really vibrant part of Little Italy.
The apartment itself, it is perfect. Located in an historic building (a former Christian Science Church) the building is about 100 years old, but the conversion was done just a few years ago and the apartments are both modern and lovely, There is an in-suite washer and dryer (with some extra storage space where Rebecca graciously allowed me to keep my bike while I was there), a very nice washroom with shower and tub, a good sized bedroom - with a very comfortable bed - and then a nice sized kitchen that gives onto the living area. The kitchen was well stocked with all the important pots, pans, utensils, knives and dinnerware that anyone would need for either a short or long-term stay. It was absolutely ideal for my extended working trip to Winnipeg. Rebecca and her partner were ideal hosts: attentive, welcoming and always willing to go the extra mile. I will be back!
