Having been through renting in LA several times, I've found the two best ways to find an apt are....
1) craigslist
2) driving around and looking at signs in the yard, assuming you can narrow down the area
An hour's commute gives a WIDE range of areas, so where to look would depend on what he wants. Near the beach? Southbay. Redondo beach probably cheapest, though you could go further South and save more $. Even Long Beach is about an hour with traffic. City nightlife type? Then he probably wants to be closer to Hollywood/Westside. Also quite reasonable (for the beach) is Playa del Rey, which is about as close as you can get. Want to save the most? San Fernando Valley, putting you about an hour away with traffic
He should spend a day or two driving around and looking at different areas. LA is really a collection of small towns, very diverse
