Seasonal Notice: Box Elder Bugs
During seasonal changes, you may notice small black and red Box Elder Bugs near the entryway. They are harmless, do not bite or cause damage, and are simply seeking warmth. While they do not infest indoors, a few may sneak inside—just sweep them out if needed.

Pest Control: We professionally treat the property four times a year to manage these seasonal visitors.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Really great location

Stayed here while awaiting closing of a real estate deal. Super convenient location, very quiet, and appreciated the off street parking and private entrance. Close to everything. Didn’t love the antenna TV service - a smart TV would have been nice to be able to log into our own accounts. The futon “couch” was - improveable - but other amenities were as described. I agree with a previous renter who thought a place to hang clothes would have been helpful. Property manager was very responsive and accommodating. Little back yard area was cute. Overall a very good stay. Appreciated the on site laundry. Could have been cleaner at check in but I don’t know how long it was empty before our rental. Someone nearby had a dog that pooped extensively (stinky) in the side yard and left us a present one morning on the sidewalk, but I don’t think that’s the property owner’s fault. Overall a very good stay with very friendly and responsible property management. Would totally recommend.

Not what we expected

It was clean. But, there is no mountain view unless you stand on the landing and peak between the trees. There is no place to hang your clothes. Kitchenette does not include a stove top. Because you enter from the ally, it didnt feel safe. Couldn't sit in the back yard area because of the trash smell. Overall, it wasn't bad, but needed a better and updated description. Won't stay there next time.

Fantastic Location and Amenities

Absolutely amazing stay for our Missoula clients! This VRBO was a dream come true. Super clean, beautifully designed, and so cozy. Perfect location too - right in the heart of everything. Our agents like to host property sellers for the first weekend of marketing their home. Thank you from the Point 6 Real Estate team!

Enjoyed the stay and recommend booking. .

The unit was clean, comfortable and quiet. Property management was always available for questions. The staff is pleasant and professional. TV is a bit small and the signal was unreliable. Kind of strange relying on the previous guest to make sure glasses were clean. I highly recommend it and would not hesitate to book aqain.

Perfect place and location

My wife and I travel to Missoula once a year to visit friends, meet up with them in downtown Missoula and go to concerts/restaurants. This property's location is in walking distance to many places to eat, locally owned stores such as a record shop, , skate, coffee, donut shop and plenty more. Its just a $7 Uber ride to downtown which has plenty local tap houses, restaurants, shopping and the local farmers market on Saturday under the bridge. We will be back next year and hope to book at the same place!

LOVE the apartment, but...

Let me begin by saying this is an adorable place in a fantastic location. It's light and bright, comfortable, and close to downtown, the University of Montana, and the river trail. I would absolutely stay here again. Normally it would deserve a high five star rating. But there were some concerns during our stay. We discovered a random sock in the bedroom that belonged to neither my wife nor I. The wine opener still had a cork in it, and both those issues led us to question the cleanliness of the remainder of the home (it certainly appeared clean and well-kept, however). The home did not provide coffee mugs, which we found odd and which required us to purchase our own for use. The home has a dedicated parking spot off the alley, which is terrific. However it is a soft dirt area, and rains on the day of our arrival turned it into an absolute mud bog. During our trips to and from the vehicle to unload, our shoes sunk an inch down and became caked in mud. The home didn't have an inside rug near the door, so we ended up tracking mud everywhere, which required us to use the provided bath towels to clean the floors and our shoes. The home doesn't provide a place to hang or iron clothes, so if you are in town for an event requiring dress attire, it may be a challenge. Finally, I found the approval process with the property management company a little more cumbersome than any other VRBO booking. Again, even with these issues, I would rent the place again on future stay in Missoula.

Property was a perfect spot for me to stay while I "remote worked" and visited my daughter. The apartment was clean, bright and had plenty of room for me to work and hang out.
