Neighborhood overview: About the Inner Mission District-
"La Mision"
Centrally located close to downtown, it is the city's Latino district & has been the gateway for most new immigrants, initially Italian, Irish, then predominantly Latino since the 1970's .
It is famous for its historic buildings, Mission burritos (the best in Northern California), grungy artistic scene & it's colorful murals.
Though the Mission still retains it's gritty 'barrio' (hood) flavor the neighborhood has been undergoing a second wave of gentrification lately and has been experiencing with an influx of technology money.
The Mission district is large & complex, with varying socioeconomic areas, clusters of mini-communities, and specialty stores found nowhere else. A few years back Utne Reader rated the Inner Mission the 2nd coolest place to live in the US (first was New Orlean's Garden District).
Like in any other cities there are sections of the Mission that can be high crime but don't let that scare y

About the host: Hola! 
I love to travel, the last place I went was the Caribbean in Honduras (awesome) &  I have been day dreaming about my next destination-Colombia.  I also love to dance-all kinds but Samba is my religion!
For an authentically Mission experience there is a free Salsa lesson included in your stay- I can teach you in 15 mins -yes  it's that easy or well,  just enough to fake the rest...
I also love gardening, culture, fashion, camping, history and living in SF.
For 23 years, I owned one of the last Latin cultural stores in the community, it was a landmark legacy business which gave me a very intimate & spiritual connection to the Mission- hence why I  was  picked to film an Airbnb success story commercial you may have seen on u-tube called 
"Airbnb Nancy" - what a blast! 
 I love showing guests the best of SF life, here are some of the best things to do beyond the touristy sights: 
-Bike along the embarcadero, across the GG bridge & take the ferry back from Sausalito- epic! 
bring some Napa or Sonoma Chardonnay with you &  on the  way stop at a crab stand at Fisherman's Wharf to pick up a very affordable crab sandwich on sourdough for the Quintessential San Francisco meal- have a picnic at Aquatic Park or Chrissy Field. 
-Hike Lands End 
-People watch at Dolores Park - best sunset view is at 20th & Church-don’t miss the irreverent Hunky Jesus (look a like) contest on Easter Sunday 
-Catch some blues at The Saloon in North Beach Sunday night 
-Eat a burrito in the Mission, Best in the US & do a self guided mural walk thru Balmy Alley & around. 
-Eat Dim Sum in Chinatown 
at the Hang ah Tea House & stop by The Fortune Cookie Factory nearby, (invented by a Japanese man)
- Eat buffalo stew or burger at historical Tommy’s Joint & be transported back to the days of the Barbary Coast 
-ok The Cheese Cake Factory above Macy's Union Square can be a bit new money & a little touristy, but the food is actually pretty good & the view is AMAZING
-The museum on the 2nd story of the Boudin Bakery in Fishermans Wharf is a little gem & you can see how the bread is being made into turtles, dolphons, crabs & other adorable animals.  After that head to Musee Mecanique a few doors away for antique arcade machines, relics left from Playland that used to be at Ocean Beach.
-Play "I left my Heart in San Francisco" by Tony Bennett & read some Herb Caen, who coined the term "Baghdad by the Bay" 
-Have some coffee at Caffe Trieste in North Beach, where  the 1st Capuccino in the West was served  & also where Francis Ford Coppola wrote The God Father.
- See the Zapatista Mural in Jack Kerouc Alley, painted by a dear friend &  behind iconic City Lights Bookstore .  Ask me about the mural story.
-Catch a baseball game at Oracle park !
SF songs & bands : 
City Lights by Journey
The Grateful Dead of course
Huey Lewis & the News 
Carlos Santana  & more !
