A comfortable old house with four beds and a couch. Tall people be careful on the stairs. Jacuzzi is a nice touch. Nice kitchen, family area, and dining table.
The location is excellent, it is located close to downtown and all the restaurants and museums. The house was clean, full of amenities like unusual coffee for the Keurig, like Blueberry pie. The check in process was easy, the check out process also easy. We didn't use the jacuzzi or the firepit, but the backyard looked great. The house does not have central heating, but the downstairs had a wall heater and our room (downstairs) had its own oscillating heater. It wasn't an issue, even in winter. If you are checking out on Thursday, but not staying, be sure to get the garbage to the curb early, as the neighbors will check to make sure it has been done. Very good find.

Adorable home
This home is amazing! Great location that's within walking distance from downtown. Home was fully stocked and super comfortable/accommodating. Definitely would stay here again!
Check in process was easy, communication was great . Missy the host was quick to respond when I needed to communicate with her. The place is very cozy, comfortable. Thank you
9 family members gathered for 3 nights from across the nation to celebrate the youngest sibling. The house accommodated everyone nicely with great outdoor spaces as well. Kitchen was lacking a few items for cooking but we managed. Visit the the Mission Inn while there! Worth seeing!
The house is old, but charming. We walked down 6th street right to the Mission Inn, which was convenient. Outdoor space is charming as well. Farmer's Market in Riverside was amazing! I would recommend Missy's place if you're there to hang out in downtown Riverside for sure!
There were four of us. My sister, her husband, my husband and myself. We loved the location. The home was clean and the owner responded to questions quickly. I would recommend this home. We did a couple day trips and a couple meals at the Mission Inn. This is the third time we’ve traveled to California together. This is the first time we stayed at this home. We would definitely stay here again.
We were in town for a wedding and enjoyed the location because we could walk to town. It handled our group easily with plenty of space. We were an older group, 62-87 years old so the stairs were a bit challenging for those of us who stayed upstairs. It was also a little awkward that we parked in back but had to come and go from the front door. But overall it was a nice property and very reasonable compared to most of the downtown hotels. The hostess was very responsive to all of our questions.
Accommodations were clean and comfortable. We had 8 adults and the spacious floor plan with a complete kitchen, bathroom amenities were top rated. 10 out of 10 great.
Location was easy to access, we all felt safe. We will recommend and use this home again for our family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at this property. As others have mentioned, it is a very clean property with all of the important household items. We did sleep on the new mattress downstairs and found it to be lovely. We took several walks to the Mission Inn area to look at all the holiday lights. Very beautiful if you decide to go. The house has lots of character and fit our group of 7 quite well. It was a great price and a great location!
We had a wonderful stay in Riverside. It was nice to be only 10 minutes away from school. The area was nice & housed everyone. It is a sweet, vintage home with everything you need nearby. Missy was great & communicated with us. She answered all of our questions promptly. Missy was a gracious host.
The most important thing to me when traveling is cleanliness, especially bathrooms and beds. This home was so clean, I was immediately at ease. The home is beautiful and roomy. We were attending a wedding reception in downtown Riverside, so we were less than a mile away from the venue, which was so convenient. Despite being so close to downtown, the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. Missy, the homeowner, was responsive and timely, with all my questions. I would love to stay here again and I definitely recommend it.
