Everything about this place will exceed your expectations, starting with the thoughtfulness of the hosts. They leave information in the room regarding dog friendly restaurants, beaches, etc and are eager to help you in any way they can; answering questions and offering suggestions to make your visit the best it can be. The room is lovely with a view that makes every day perfection. The location is amazing! No, you can't "walk to everything" but let's be honest, it's California and everyone drives. I said "it's about 20 minutes " so many times it became a joke. Little Italy, La Jolla, Pacific Beach...pretty much anywhere you want to go will be easy to get to from this location. You can walk to Mission Bay and I suggest you do. Superbloom Cafe is fantastic! Mission Bay Resort is a lovely walk and has a nice Happy Hour with ocean views. My only regret is that I can't live at the Bayview Roost.
