The Bay View Condo is in a great location, next to the bay, with a very short (and safe) walk to a playground. We went several times to Mission Boulevard and Pacific Beach, we also rented a Surrey bike and cycled along the bayshore. It is on the first floor, with a view of the park and the bay.
We were traveling with our 3 year old and our 1½ year old, so, as is normal we had to move cleaning products etc out of their reach. Some items though defied baby proofing, such as the blinds on the main window, which they delighted in pulling, unless we had the blinds totally open. A critical failure of baby proofing is that many doors were lockable, by our three year old. He locked himself in the main bedroom; which we successfully unlocked using a small screwdriver, which we had packed by accident. Such a screw driver should be provided.
A related issue was that there was only one set of keys. This made it hard to operate as family, and at one point we locked them into the garage. Of the set, one of the two keys appeared to be useless: I could not find a lock that it operated. The house manual provided two codes, one of which supposedly would have got us into the complex - but we could not make it work. For the initial checkin one of the neighbors who happened to be around, let us into the complex, and then the second code got us into the apartment.
We later worked out, that when we did not have the key, that we could pass our toddler through one of the window spaces, and he could open the gate for us.
The apartment was well equipped with lots of things we needed, and more. Moreover the extra equipment was stored in a way that still left enough primary storage areas for our things.
However, many of these were disappointing in the detail: it feels that Kaylee and James have not stayed themselves in the apartment with exactly the facilities they provide. There were ten different remote controls; this was utterly confusing. The bath had two different plugs; it was unclear that they were both removable and one served for a shower, and the other for a bath. The air-conditioning unit, had an adjustable attachment to fit to the window, which did would not adjust to the actual window.
Our final disappointment, which can be seen clearly in the photos, is the color scheme was pretty drab when staying for a week.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but when we return to San Diego we will look for a different place.
