The location is great and the caretaker is fantastic, however, the price for a two-bedroom apartment is too high and there isn't even a dishwasher. Manitoba has forbidden rent increases during Covid times up until 2022 and 2023 due to tenants tax credit given to Globe by the government, yet they have increased it annually by 5-10% instead of the RTB average of 1.5-2%. There were no renovations or work done on the building apart from regular maintenance so there was no justification for doing so. Suits get painted after tenants move out; this cost should come from damage deposits and be built into higher prices for next tenants; however, Globes are passing on this charge to current residents. They'll try to say that higher floor apartments need more money because of better amenities & newer updates; but in reality those same floor/higher ones rent at lower costs. When asked how much consideration was given to tax credits sent by government (belonging to tenants) - questions were dodged with no answer provided. This money will likely be used for work on building & subsequently lead to further hikes in rent which we already paid for. The new manager seems nice but she works under Globes' instructions - ethically questionable as they The location is great and the caretaker is fantastic, however, the price for a two-bedroom apartment is too high and there isn't even a dishwasher.

The Eiffel Tower A is an ideal place to live in St. Boniface due to its wonderful location and splendid window views of evergreen trees from the balconies. I have been a resident for three years, and the management staff are friendly, responsive and actively look into any concerns or issues. The building is kept safe with surveillance, and maintenance work is done quickly and perfectly under the watchful supervision of Resident Manager William. I would highly recommend this apartment complex for anyone looking to rent in St. Boniface – special thanks to William for taking care of all tenants!
