About the room
Land lord is very responsive to requests and concerns (have been with him for a few years now). Gas/internet/electric comes out to about 100/month. Unit is on the ground floor and easy to move into. Neighbors are pleasant and non-bothersome. Normally these units go for more. I have been with this landlord for a few years so I have a bit of a price break (with no broker fee).
One of the best features of this place is the proximity to both the 71 & 73 lines to take you to Harvard Square which means you can get to anywhere in the city via red line. Nonetheless, the place comes with multiple off-street parking spots for yourself and anyone you might host. I work from home a few days a week and the place is quiet enough that I have no problem doing this.
The unit is fairly small and just consists of a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a bath, few closets for storage, and a large basement for lotβs of storage. There is an in-unit washer/dryer but no dish washing machine. Plenty of natural light coming through with south-facing windows.
Sofra, Star Market, Inteligensia, and Mt Auburn cemetery at within 3 minutes walking distance from the house (Google maps βSofraβ and youβll understand the general location). Very safe location also.
About the roomies
Iβm 30M and work as a scientist at biotech startup in Watertown. I finished my PhD about 2 years ago. I work from home 0-3 days per week depending on the work going on. I definitely consider myself clean and respectful. We donβt need to be best friends, but sharing a living space means our interactions should be pleasant. Send a message, and happy to discuss more.
