My girlfriend and I will be driving up to San Francisco next week, we are looking to stay at an airbnb. Does anyone have suggestions on the best areas to stay around the bay?
Any other SF tips would be appreciated.

Where you from? If you're just from SoCal, there isn't much specifically to do in San Francisco that would be very different unless you want to do some touristy things.
There is a town north of SF called Pescadero which is a nice coastal town that you won't really find in the south. It's a lot more harbor-ish with a lighthouse and some nice wide areas as opposed to beach city San Diego.
You'll find most of the good food on Mission, personally you should hit up Shakedown my favorite ice cream place on the planet.
As for general SF tips, light rail/muni is a very convenient way to get around most of the city because parking is horrible. It's a buck fifty for a one way ticket across any of the light rail lines. If you do decide to drive around, be very wary about turning your wheels in or out depending on the slope. They ticket pretty leniently on that.

Why not stay at a hostel or a hotel? If you want to save money, stay at the Super 8 Hotel on Lombard street.
What exactly do you plan on seeing and doing in SF, and for how long?

The area where the Castro and Mission meet is really nice, in my opinion. When it's sunny out, I like to buy some nice cheese from Bi-rite market and eat it in Dolores Park

hahaha
if you want to save money then book a good airbnb deal like 2 months before you arrive
i've seen really nice, private room and bathrooms for like 45 dollars a night when hotels like HI or the green tortoise are way more expensive for an 8 person bunk and shared bathroom
super 8 hotels literally anywhere are always garbage

when hostels like*
hotels are an even bigger scam
if you can't get an airbnb in downtown sf you should try to get one on the outskirts near the BART stations
