“Aaron is a responsive and gracious host. The property is well kept up, and the bungalow we stayed in was clean, spacious and comfortable. Aaron adds special little touches, like snacks, toiletries, and well a stocked coffee cupboard. We stayed 5 nights, with one day relaxing at the bungalow. It was wonderful!”

“Well appointed, excellent location, character with modern/clean renovations. Walk to Arts bar and grill riversides 5 star dive bar, eat, drink, and pub crawl back to the bungalow. No parking hassle, no Uber, an easy 10 min walk. The Cheech is a must see, lots of art and community events within walking distance. The mission inn is an amazing jewel visually….eat elsewhere….there are many choices.”

“This is such a great find! The location is ideal for walking downtown. The owners thought of every convenience. The neighbors are friendly and you even have a slice of wildlife. Listening to the birds in the garden is lovely. The parking is covered, tucked away and safe. I will definitely return for my next trip here.”

“This is a beautiful place! The bungalows & grounds are very well maintained, it's quiet, quaint and in a really neat location. But the most amazing part is - the owners have gone above and beyond to make sure we have what we need. It is by far the best "stocked" short term rental we have ever stayed in.”

“These bungalows are within walking distance to the Mission Inn and downtown Riverside, several restaurants and shops, perfect location. The cute little bungalow I stayed in was nicely decorated with all the amenities you need, including a washer and dryer. I loved the secured parking, so I wasn’t worried about my car at all. I will definitely let my friends and family know of the Mission Bungalows, for a great place to stay when in Riverside.”
