You may consider looking into the Hacker Dojo. I know some other Googlers hang out there and you may find someone to room with.

Alternately, there's an apartment complex where some of the Dojo people (and also a few of my co-workers) live in MV, not far from me. I think there was a studio open there a few weeks ago. I can put you in touch with some of those people.

Bicycling's pretty big in the area. I'm not in good enough shape for it yet, but I'd like to be. As it is, I walk about 3 miles every day back and forth to caltrain. (I have a car, but you know, getting in shape. Also cost.)

Also, I'd like to second the digital networking thing. I got my current job through some folks I used to work on open source stuff with, and it's been great. (There are like 8 of us from the same group working here now.)

Cool and congratulations! Isn't Barry out there, or is that a different site?

Don't they have an accomodation for interns? Never heard of any bothered with renting a room or something. They just live where they are told to live.

In any case, if you decide to rent, rent it at bicycle-riding distance, meaning, somewhere in MV; there are inexpensive places even near downtown.

Check out craigslist. But first, talk to the recruiter, they may give you all the information you need.

Congratulations on finding a position with them, and I for one welcome our future search engine overlords.
