I'm moving from a small suburb for a job at Google's San Bruno office. I'll be in the office 3 days a week, have a car, and my budget is under $3,000/month. I'd prefer to live alone in a 1-bedroom if possible.

I'm looking for advice on:

• Which cities or neighborhoods would you recommend?
• What's a realistic budget for a decent 1-bedroom?
• How long of a commute should I expect?
• Any areas I should avoid?
• What websites or apps are best for finding rentals?
• Is it worth living in San Francisco, or should I stay closer to San Bruno or somewhere ese?

I'd love to hear from anyone who works at Google or has made a similar move. Thanks!
