Shiela's place is prime location for shops, gas station, etc. Also a quick trip to la jolla beaches along with pacific and mission beach was a 20 min drive. Shielas place is awesome price for a traveler who is passing through and needs a place to crash. Shiela made it a point that kitchen is available for cooking etc, but limited space to store food so I wouldnt plan on grocery shopping or anything before hand. House is shared with other roommates and you wouldnt be able to tell. PLace was clean and quiet. Quiet at night and during the day. House mates are very respectable. I recommend the stay for a nice beach get away!
