Jeanine's house is in a nice, quiet location walking distance from grocery stores and other shopping. The house is right behind a lovely park which is a great place to walk or sit and read. If you're trying to get to UCSD, you will likely want to either take a bus or rent a car or bike, as it's a bit of long a walk from the house to the natural sciences part of campus. There are frequent buses up to campus from the neighborhood and back, so it's not inconvenient. Similarly, you'll want a car or bike or bus to get to the beach. The house itself is comfortable, with a nice kitchen and common area, and back deck that is very pleasant in the evenings. The bedroom has lots of closet storage for all your clothes. Overall, this was a great place to stay while I was at UCSD for a month doing some training.
