Very nice space with everything we needed for a couple of days in Missoula. We opted to drive downtown, just a few minutes away due to the little heat wave we were in, but it would've been a quick walk otherwise.
Beautifully designed and decorated open one bedroom. I especially appreciated the modern and high quality dishes and appliances. Bed was large and comfortable set away from the road with a small, private patio and small bathroom with a beautiful tile shower. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
Location was very good for our needs. The dwelling is cute and clean. Could use a good dusting off of cobwebs on the light fixtures. The only thing that was hard for us, the noise from upstairs. Can hear talking and people walking etc. I would suggest leaving the porch light on for guests. It’s pretty dark at the door. Makes it a bit hard to see the lockbox numbers. Otherwise it’s a very cute and cozy place to stay.

Why they chose this property
This is a great neighborhood in central Missoula. Many of the homes, including this one, were built over a hundred years ago. The house is walking distance to downtown, the Westside has a unique character with many breweries, trails, and river access.
