I was required by employer to stay in Winnipeg for an extended period and I stayed approximately three months at the Osborne suite. The building was built in the ‘60’s and is very solid construction with thick walls. Road noise from Osborne Street was minimal and neighbours were relatively quiet. The suite is about 450sqft and worked well for just me. My wife came to visit me from Alberta once and it was still comfortable for the two of us. It gave us memories of when we first lived in an apartment 25 years ago. Laundry is $2 for the washer and $2 for the dryer. There is only one washer for the building however I never had to wait to use it. There are two dryers which can take two loads of laundry. I stayed during the tail end of winter and the suite was always warm and toasty. Safeway is a few blocks down Osborne along with some eateries like the Oxbow and Leopold’s which served good food. The bowling alley was a nice activity too so a few things to do within walking distance. Grant Park mall is a short drive and gives you a few more options like Walmart, Sobey’s, Winners, etc. A small walk to the south takes you to the Red River with a short maintained river trail to enjoy. I enjoyed my stay there and any concerns I had, Curtis addressed promptly.
