My husband and I moved in around September of last year. The whole process was flawless and quick. We viewed an apartment on frobisher lane and the building manager was creepy. We left and called Playfair residences, the lovely lady on the phone offered a viewing immediately. We rushed over and were very impressed with the spacious units and price. The pool and tunnel system is awesome for the winter and the building is being refurbished. The staff are friendly and really helpful. There is a dog park right beside, with a personal entrance for the property. The construction is not the best, a new building is being built. But life is life. Over all, very clean, well kept, well managed, and great area.

It's not a bad building. Great ladies in the office, nice maintenance guys. Overall clean and quiet place. Building is old though, so certain issues do crop up. Very thin walls and lots of hot water issues, especially fall-spring. Edit: Hot water issues have been resolved!
I have been living at 1701 Kilborn for a year now, and can attest that this is a good place to live. It's quiet (as quiet as one can expect for an apartment complex), it has many facilities such as laundry rooms, a gym, and a swimming pool. The common areas are clean and inviting. The administration staff are very friendly and respond to complaints and questions promptly. The neighbourhood is amazing, and the building is a 3-minute walk from a small plaza with a grocery mart, restaurants, pharmacy, doctors's office... It is an old building, so it has issues that one can expect from an old building. For example, it takes about a week or so for the hearting to adjust from below zero to above zero conditions. I remember in October to November of 2020 there was a period where my apartment was quite hot, like 30 degrees C. I advise you to keep a fan around in case this happens. There were occasional mechanical issues with the fans that resulted in odd noises, but the maintenance staff usually do a sound job of addressing them. The pricing is pretty fair; I was living in a studio that had very low square footage and the price was just below the 1000 mark, but considering the going rates for rentals in this city, I think I can give them a pass on that one. Recommended for young professionals.
I was only visiting bit would definitely consider living here. It is super clean and secure from my experience and time there which was a lot.
I have been dealing with this management for one and a half year now as a contractor. I deal with hundreds of managements and buildings in Ottawa and Ontario. I'd say if my budget help me, I'd chose to live in this building or 1701. Perfect staff, perfect location, perfect maintenance and perfect tenants.
