Noe Valley San Francisco Bed & Breakfast

Our wonderful bed and breakfast is just blocks from the center of a charming neighborhood, Noe Valley, San Francisco. Famous for picturesque views of Twin Peaks, it contains a manageable few blocks of coffee shops, thrift stores, restaurants, unique boutiques and wine stores, just to name a few of its businesses. Dating from the 1880's, this 'small town' neighborhood was once connected to downtown San Francisco by the historic cable cars, but now boasts a modern light rail train called the 'J', that whisks you directly to the center of the city in minutes. With very few if any buildings over four stories, it still has that quaint neighborhood feel, especially with many beautifully restored Victorian homes in the surrounding area. Since it is mostly 'residential' it is off the main 'tourist' track and retains a moderate pace of activity instead of that frantic 'big city' vibe that permeates downtown. Make a special effort to attend the delightful Saturday morning 'Farmer's Market' at 24th Street between Church and Sanchez Streets.

And just down the hill from Noe's Nest Inn along 24th Street is the The Valencia Street Corridor, a fascinating mix of shops, restaurants, coffee cafes, bars and novelty stores that stretches from 24th Street to 15th Street. This trendy strip, famous for its upscale boutiques, bistros, internet cafes, bakeries and four star restaurants also features many Irish pubs and sports bars offering live music.

Also down the hill is Mission Street, the center of the San Francisco Mission District, another of the City's main attractions. Full of a wide variety of restaurants, art galleries, book shops, banks and their ATM's, this vibrant neighborhood has more than 600 colorful Murals, that cover whole blocks of buildings. Originally the home of the Bay Area's Indian tribes, because of its warm, sunny weather, the Franciscan Friars adopted it as well to found their Mission Dolores in 1775. The Mission in San Francisco, CA, originally built of wood, was soon destroyed by fire and the existing Mission Dolores was rebuilt in 1791 of the famous adobe brick and still stands today, along with its historical cemetery and museum that documents the birth of the City of San Francisco.

The above photo is taken from Dolores Park, showing just one of the stunning views from our Noe Valley, San Francisco neighborhood. Whether doing a leisurely walk to see the many fascinating buildings, or a trip to one of our world famous restaurants, every block and every hill has a view of its own.
