Fascinating and clean!

The Loft on James looks just like the pictures. It was very clean and has interesting decor throughout. Beds were comfortable. Martina was an excellent host, friendly, available, and thoughtful. Getting in to the unit was a bit tricky but Martina came and showed us how to access the building and apartment. She shared information about the area and it's rich history. Appreciated the map on the wall with suggestions for places to visit and where to eat. Great place!

About the host

Hosted by Martina, Bruce, and Lauren

Host profile image
After 20 years of global executive travel, I have come to appreciate that there are a few essentials that have always put a smile on my face and made me feel at home. It is this realization that has driven my family and I to offer an unforgettable accommodation experience.

A beautifully-appointed space, with comfy bedding, and lovely amenities, all the comforts of home and an opportunity to connect with locals, are but a few of the things that we hope our condo and family offers.

We are passionate about our city and would love to share anything that may be of interest to you about Winnipeg. There is so much to discover and talk about in English, French or Czech​ if you prefer! ☺

Why they chose this property

This is a true industrial loft, is preserved in all its' authenticity and century-old character and charm. The architectural features of this property were not lost during the redevelopment, as often happens to so many old buildings in this area. Timber ceilings are frequently hidden and covered in the renovations of these historic warehouses. This building's redesign preserved the massive timber framework, offering an unparalleled historic charm.

Our space also occupies the entire back and width of the building, which gives it 3 gorgeous outside brick walls, and 5 south and west-facing windows. This is very rare for the Exchange District.

This building was awarded the Heritage Winnipeg Preservation Award of Excellence in tribute to this outstanding gentrification. If you want to stay in an authentic 100-year-old industrial loft, this is as close as you can get without traveling back in time!
