We enjoyed our two-night stay at Ashley and Brent's basement suite AirBnB. Ashley sent us all of the information we needed to know for check-in prior to our arrival, and was gracious enough to have the room ready for us before the check-in time of 4 pm, as we were arriving in the city a bit earlier.
We met Brent briefly on our first evening, and he ensured we had everything we needed, which we did-- the suite was clean, comfortable and well-equipped.
The location is close to downtown, but not quite within a walkable distance. (We certainly weren't ambitious enough to walk!) However, there is access to a bus within a block from the house which travels through downtown on its route.
We would recommend Ashley & Brent's place to anyone staying in Winnipeg.
