It all comes down to what your idea of comfortable is as well as what your budget is. A studio in downtown will prob run you close to 2k a month. Parking is also extra unless you get a permit for street parking. I personally found a street where I only had to move my car twice a week and since I worked from home, I made it work. Anyways, I’d say follow the 1/3 of your pay for rent rule to be safe.

I know it was once 1/4 but let’s be real, that can be tough.
