La Paz is a big city, and if you're coming here to work or visit for an extended period, it can be hard to decide where to stay. A lot of foreigners choose Sopocachi, for several reasons. It is fairly safe, there are many coffee shops and restaurants that serve international food, it's easy to get around and it's close to many NGO and government offices. Although it's international, it's not a neighborhoods that is choked with tourists or only inhabited by foreigners. The downside is that it's quite expensive by La Paz standards, and definitely is a bit of a rarified world. That said, you can rent a nice apartment for what in the States is considered a bargain, and by using the minibus system get around and see the whole city easily.
