This location had amazing ocean views (including beautiful sunsets) and was just a block from La Jolla Children’s Pool. The condo was also nicely decorated. I was hoping that the new reviews were just glitches and/or were addressed by the time we would arrive. Although management was very nice and quick to address the issues (needing extra heaters, thick blankets, drayno for the shower drain back up, and some Velcro to hold the fridge door closed), it is still unfortunate that they could not take care of these things prior to my arrival, given that this clearly was already reported via the previous reviews. In addition, one of the reasons why I had selected this lower unit was because of the patio access (to the patio table). Unfortunately, this area is a shared space and every morning (and different times through out the day) the table was taken by other tenants of the building (the tenants renting the unit above). Imagine the awkwardness of us having breakfast with the one door open (I was never able to open both because the door lock was rusted) and not quite enjoying the view with people right in front of us.
For the price paid, we would have loved not to have been worried about half of these issues. Other than this, the location is perfect and only about 20 minutes from all major San Diego attractions.
