Paid an absolutely exorbitant amount of money $ 4 kmo for one bedroom , but I split it . My weekend routine during that time was to wake up relatively early and wander on up to chinatown , grab a snack , head to North Beach little italy and just wander endlessly . That walk shockingly never got old . And of course , driving too fast on California street at night also absolutely never got old . Nothing better than taking a drunken uber home at 2 am with your driver catching air at this exact drop Those morning walks sometimes we hopped onto a cable car for four months implanted in my brain that San Francisco is the best city to live in on the planet . Nave really . I don ' t live there anymore , but goddamn I still miss it all the time .
