Currently on a trip to the Bay Area as we type. I’ve been to San Francisco before but doing Sonoma and Monterrey in between some time in SF.
Union Square is totally safe and there aren’t really too many other areas to get good hotels within the city. Alcatraz and Muir woods are great. Rent some bikes and head to the west part of town. Great restaurants at all price ranges.
In terms of homeless people it’s not unlike other west coast cities. Vancouver seattle portland la are all the same. SF gets a bit more guff than it should. The embarcadero is a cool reminder of how cities can transform areas
