This condo is nicer than pictures can convey. Everything inside looks brand new and spotless: the furniture, the appliances and appointments. It’s modern, open, clean & comfortable and just has an overall good vibe – a great place to relax indoors when you’re not outside exploring Winnipeg’s famous Exchange District.
The building is elegant, safe & secure and located directly on the water. It has a fitness center and a common area that also doubles as a business center (with a pool table) where you can meet clients. It’s situated within minutes walking distance to some of Winnipeg’s best attractions: the Manitoba Museum, Centennial Concert Hall, theaters, clubs & restaurants.
Carnaval Brazilian BBQ - one of my favorite dining places - is literally 100 meters away on Waterfront Drive. Cibo Waterfront Café is another nice place to eat right across the street. Corrientes Argentine Pizzeria will give you a taste of Buenos Aires in Winnipeg and it’s a picturesque sidewalk café too, if you’re there in the summer.
The ladies managing Getaway are consummate hosts. They were on top of everything from the get-go, conscientiously checking with me to make 100% sure everything was perfect. Self check-in was easy and smooth; Instructions were clear and self explanatory but the ladies are always just a text or phone call away should you need any clarification. They are also happy to recommend any of the local attractions you might want to check out.
There’s a heated indoor (free) garage parking space if you’re driving but, being right in the heart of the Exchange District, you probably won’t need to drive much. Everything was perfect from the moment I inquired & booked and throughout my stay. Airbnb will only let me rate the place up to five stars, but it’s really a ten.
