Living for summer analyst in SF

I'm currently a Berkeley student who will be interning this summer at a boutique IB firm in SF. I already have an apartment in Berkeley, but I'm wondering if I should live in SF over the summer or if I'll be okay commuting from Berkeley. Wanted to hear thoughts and if I should live in SF, which neighborhood(s)? (office is in Financial District)
