Looking for housing in SF or East Bay from late Sept/early Oct

Hi all,

I'm posting this on behalf of a good friend, a recent Cornell grad. His company recently decided to send him up to Northern California. His new workplace will be in the East Bay but he would be alright with SF as well, if it's worth the price. Currently he's looking for a apartment to share but a room in a house would also be acceptable. Please let me know if anything is available.
