Living between 22nd and 23rd street near Church Street gives you good access to most of the Mission District and Noe Valley. A short walk uphill takes you to the shops of Noe Valley with nice views of the city, while a few blocks in the other direction takes you to Valencia and Mission streets. On the way, you pass an amiable coffee shop, Quetzal, and several other restaurants and bars. It’s easy to find what you want in the neighborhood by walking a few blocks. There are dive bars, fancy wine bars, coffee shops of all stripes and yummy brunch spots. If you’re interested in shopping, it runs the gambit from thrift stores to interesting boutiques. The Mission is definitely my favorite spot in San Francisco.
