We've lived in East Cambridge for the last 6 years and have gotten VERY LUCKY with our rent/landlord. We pay 2600 for a 2bed 1 bath which, compared to similar units in our neighborhood, still seems like a really good deal. It all depends, as others have said, on what you consider affordable.
We used Trulia & Zillow primarily to (exhaustively) search when we were looking.
There are still good and fair landlords, but they're harder to find. Don't give up!
