Research the neighborhood you're staying in. It's not uncommon for people to find a hotel that's TL-adjacent, think it's a great location because it's close to Union Square, then find themselves horrified when they step out in the morning.

Best way of researching? Street view / hood maps ?

The unpleasant area that you hear about in the news is basically just the border between districts 5 and 6 in this map: https://voterguide.sfelections.org/sites/default/files/image...

My knee-jerk answers for where to not stay are downtown, anything near the Tenderloin, anything in the mission close to a Bart station. Bayview/Hunters Point is also on that list, but no one accidentally stays there.
