We had a great time staying in Michelle's place to visit with our freshman daughter at the U of M. We hosted her and her friends from all over the world to a U.S. Thanksgiving dinner in the building's beautiful lounge. It was a great time, and we were so grateful that Michelle was so helpful and immediately responsive to our many questions.
As for the unit, it's a brand new condo in a great location. You can practically fall out of bed and into one of the theaters in the Exchange District, or the Manitoba Museum, which has a wonderful ship on display. You otherwise can walk to a wonderful array of restaurants, as well as the riverfront, or, if you're a walker, the Museum of Human Rights.
Michelle's place is very cozy, yet airy. The building is extremely quiet, and you'll feel at home the minute you walk in the door. We never heard a neighbor either above or beside us--not a bump or shoe step! The two bedrooms have no windows, which we loved because we sleep best in dark rooms! There's a well-equipped fitness center in the basement as well, which we'd planned to use but never found the time.
It was great for both entertaining as well as just lying around, having a casual drink. The kitchen is convenient enough and appointed well for cooking, and since we really don't like Canadian coffee (one of the very few things we don't like about Canada), the Keurig machine, with it's brew-your-own cartridge into which you can put your own grounds, was perfect for us.
In short, we had a great time and look forward to staying here again in the future.
