The train is just up the street. It won't take me long at all. - Нет, спасибо. Метро здесь недалеко, вверх по улице.

ага, в двух шагах

"up the street" deals with the house numbering issue, but I guess up/down can be used interchangeably... so you can easily omit it in the translation.

I used to think "down the street" is pretty much of a set-expression meaning "in the neighbourhood, around here"

RE just up the street и вверх по улице

"It comes from the house numbers which rise (1-3-5-7 etc) as you go up the street and decrease (50-48-46-44 etc ) as you go down the street, if you enter from the other end"
