Nob and Russian Hill aren't bad. I have a 20 minute walk to downtown, and easy access to buses and cable cars. It's quiet (compared to the Mission or North Beach), not terribly expensive, and pretty safe. The walk home through Chinatown is a nice change of scenery, too.

I lived in Nob Hill for a year and it's a great area, except that walking to SOMA you might go through a couple pretty rough blocks and walking home you go up some of the steepest hills in SF.

I lived at the top of Nob hill for about a year.

Nice neighborhood -- close to everything, yet not too much in the middle of things.

Got tired of the streetcars, though. The clacking and clanging was cute for the first day or two. After that it got old in a hurry.
