Martina and Bruce were very personable and accommodating hosts. The LOFTonJAMES was beautifully designed with the rich history of the Winnepeg area in mind! We loved the unique industrial touch. The highlighted wall map in the loft and their personal recommendations were definitely appreciated and so helpful. The location is near so many great Pubs and restaurants as well as convenient historical and shopping sites within walking distance. We definitely will recommend The LOFTonJAMES to friends and family!

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!

Fabulous Loft

This was a great central place to stay and enjoy Winnipeg. The loft is really cute and the owner has thought of everything. Its the little things that puts this place over the top. Martina can be very involved or as little involved as you want. She researched what was going on the week we were there from concerts to plays to baseball game. They have a big map on the wall that shows the areas special interest and how to get there. Martina went over the map so we knew where to go and what restaurants she recommended. She was spot on! Bruce met us in the unloading area and saved us a spot so we could unload easily. Ive never had such one on one treatment before. You could tell they wanted you to totally enjoy your trip. They even left a bottle of wine and a mint on each of our pillows. Thank you Martina & Bruce! We loved your place and would love to stay here again next time were in town.

Awesome interior design

Let’s start with the basics - very clean, spacious, comfortable, very well stocked, excellent host. All five stars. But the truly amazing aspect of this unit was the absolutely incredible work they did on the interior design. Basically, they gutted an old warehouse and created an amazing living space. Warm and inviting, yet incorporating dozens of antique fixtures and features to remind you this was a very old building. We were literally amazed and totally impressed. We sent pictures to all of our family. We were also impressed what the city has done with the old Exchange District. Nice tourist district now. Good restaurants and hiking trails nearby. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

This place was amazing—beyond our expectations! Though there are plenty of places to go within walking distance, you will most likely just want to stay in and admire the art gallery/museum-like charm of this place. There’s so much to look at, yet it’s still cozy and welcoming! Our host greeted us with wine and desserts, told us about the local hotspots, and checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything. We can’t wait to come back and stay here!!

From booking to checking out, I had ZERO worries. There was sparkling wi e and a beautiful cake for my daughter upon arrival for her birthday. Everything was supplied and best places to visit and eat. The hosts are available 24/7 during your stay and make sure that you know they are there to make your stay the most enjoyable ever!
