Try to eat at home and buy food at «green» stores like VkusVill (ВкусВилл in Russian). Avoid city center for rentals. It is quite comfortable to get it by public transport. Cheapest retals are on the north. East is quite dangerous. Khimki — a nearby city on the north is also a good choice for budget in terms of rentals and ecology.
