Lovely spot close to downtown Ventura but also quiet and private. The house was perfect for our grown family and grandson. We were in town for a wedding and spent a week exploring the Ventura area. Lots to see and do, we will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this bnb! The space was well stocked, beautifully decorated, and very walkable. Not a comment on the bnb but beware of the steep slope on Palm St driving towards the property (not unpassable though quite the shock at 10 pm in a packed Prius).

Hey Xinting, thank you for sharing your wonderful stay at our bnb! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the well-stocked and beautifully decorated space. Your feedback about the steep slope on Palm St is duly noted. Looking forward to hosting you again for another fantastic getaway!

If you want to walk downtown Ventura, this spot is perfect. You can walk up the hill to Serra Cross for great views or to the downtown restaurant/shopping area and carry down to the beach. There is a steep section down to downtown but we managed, even with a stroller. As others mention, the road can be busy and so backing out can be a pain. There is also only one parking spot, but we were always able to find a street spot within a few houses away. The neighborhood is fairly nice (it's California, homes are over a $1MM), but I wouldn't say downtown Ventura is totally the safest area. The grocery store Vons has a guard out front. This house seemed to be a fine area. I would stay again! The house was as described. We were there with three kids three and under and it was great. Room for two pack and plays and a bassinet. There is a china cabinet and some books on a shelf we had to discourage but otherwise no clutter for kids to get into. Hosts were very responsive over messaging.

It was my son's wedding and we enjoyed staying at this Airbnb. The weather was great, and the home was very nice and comfortable. This home did not have any cigarette smoke smell like the previous place we stayed in Glendora, so that was extremely nice. The home was clean and organized. Everything we needed such as coffee spots, shopping, and restaurants (e.g. Cafe Fiore) was close and easy to find. Met one of the family members in passing and they were super nice and informative. The only negative was the construction going on next door, but they should be done with the construction very soon. I would definitely stay at this Airbnb again without any hesitation.

We booked this place for some family that came into town. It was perfect. The space is beautiful and the location is hard to beat. The hosts live next door and made themselves available if needed, but also gave space. Loved it and would definitely recommend it.

We loved staying in this charming very old house. The fig, orange and avocado trees provided some luscious local fruit. The gas fireplace was a highlight. Location is old town Ventura, 5 minute drive to the fairgrounds and the beach. Grocery store nearby. I loved the layout of the house. It is on a busy street, but the bedrooms are way back on the property so you don't hear street noise. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pans, blender, every possible dish and more in the dining room buffet, even table linens. No plastic wrap, plastic food storage or baggies provided. The house has lots of furnishings from another era. Problems: no house entry info was received so we stood and waited in the dark, panicked about how to get into the house. Toilet seat very loose and construction next door was going on LOUDLY 3' from our bedroom window starting at 7:30 AM...a real vacation downer for those who wish to sleep in a bit! Notified host who hired them but no change nor repair made.

We felt like we were staying at a friend's home! The kitchen and appliances were A+. Loved the request to remove shoes to keep the place nice and clean.

This AirBnb is hard to beat. It's at a fantastic location - walking distance from downtown Ventura, the mission and the beach! My wife and I stayed here for several weeks to celebrate our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is very comfortable and cute - the owners have put a lot of love into it and it shows. The garden is magical. The owners of the house live in a smaller unit on the property - they are super friendly and don't intrude with your privacy at all. Overall, highly recommended!

This was a wonderful stay. It provided all the space we needed for a wedding weekend for a group of four. Likewise, it was a perfect location - 25 minutes from Santa Barbara but situated in the perfect neighborhood walkable to the town square. Our only suggestions would be better toiletries, amenities in the house and more thorough washing of some areas of the house.

The house was very cute and clean. We enjoyed our time there and would happily return. It was an easy walk into downtown Ventura and during COVID, Main Street was only open to pedestrians with lots of outdoor dining choices. We opted for take out but it was nice waking downtown and fun taking our young children down to the beach and the boardwalk to scooter. It was a lovely break and mini vacation.

Our trip at the Casa Bartsch was more than outstanding. There was everything we needed and much more! From the views to the thoughtful touches around the house, it all made this trip better than expected. We would definitely stay here again, it was not only spotless but was also in a great location to hike, walk downtown or even go to the beach. And let’s not forget about the amazing balcony that makes you feel like you are in a beautiful tropical location! We used that area to enjoy evening reading with our baby! The owners were more than pleasant. They made our stay even better!

This was one of the best Airbnb rentals I've had. The place was really nicely set up for travelers. We had two families staying here and the space was perfect: good kitchen with plenty of pots and pans, outdoor balcony, bedrooms away from the common areas, etc. The place was walkable to the beach, downtown Ventura shops, the botanical gardens and more. We enjoyed the orange tree in the front courtyard!

This house is amazing. It was comfortable, clean and luxurious. In fact, the décor was so beautiful we had to put a few things away in closets because we had a 2 year old with us. The location was awesome...walking distance to downtown Ventura, the thrift shops and tons of places to eat. Easy driving distance to all the beaches. It was perfect. The wifi is slow, but who needs wifi when you have the beach?

This rental is truly a gem and made our stay in Ventura super comfortable. The owners clearly took the time to think of any thing that might be useful and then went above and beyond in providing more. Beds were very comfy with extra linens available, towels plentiful, kitchen well stocked, they even have a variety of coffee ready for brewing. The lush greenery and beautiful views really complete this relaxing retreat.
