We've lived at the Churchill for going on four years and absolutely love it. First, the location is excellent. We have access to the skyway and river and city views from our apartment--no other apartment in downtown can claim that. Second, the apartments are well run and maintained. We've had excellent interactions with maintenence staff and have never had a problem getting any issues fixed within a day or two. Also, since we moved in, the Churchill has undertaken significant renovations that have addressed many of the concerns of residents. The elevators have been substantially improved and I rarely wait longer than a minute. The garbage truck that used to come every day at 6 a.m. every weekday comes at 10 a.m. now. The office staff is responsive and knows most of the residents by name and apartment number--not easy with 300 apartments!
Our apartment has ample closet space and storage. There is no laundry in the apartment, but in 4 years of living here, we have only had to wait once for a washer or dryer. Noise from other residents hasn't been a problem because most residents are respectful of others and the solid construction of the building prevents sound from carrying further than a room or two. I would highly recommend the Churchill for anyone that is considering living downtown Minneapolis.
