Here you will find my top recommendations. All of these hotel rooms are a little larger and include either a small kitchen or kitchenette. They also include additional sitting or work areas so you don't have to spend all your time on your bed.

The hotel is fairly new and is in the historic Ghirardelli Square building. It's less than a block from the San Francisco waterfront, so each room has an amazing view of the bay.

Lower Nob Hill is a great location for those staying for a long period of time. It's centrally located, close to several public transportation options, and in the middle of dozens of top restaurants, bars, and other retail shops.
Other Extended Stay Options
In addition to these hotels, you can also rent an individual apartment from a local. This might sound like a more-risky option, but with TripAdvisor reviews, you get a good feel for what it's like to stay in each of the places available.
I do this often when I travel. I love having more privacy with no one coming in or out of the apartment while I'm gone. When I stay for a longer period of time, I feel that I can unpack and be more at home than in a hotel.
If you are planning on staying for a long time in San Francisco, some of the neighborhoods I recommend are:
Nob Hill: Safe, central location with high-end shops, restaurants, and bars
Mission District: Very local feel. It's more of a transitional neighborhood, so make sure to find a place on the western side of Mission Street
Noe Valley: Not touristy at all, mainly locals. Stay on the eastern side of this neighborhood for good access to public transportation
Pacific Heights: Beautiful, historic neighborhood where you will mostly run into locals
