I'm looking for a roommate to share a furnished, spacious, 2-bedroom apartment near Davis Square. The apartment is on the first floor of a tree-lined street close to lots of shops and amenities. Common areas include a full bathroom, large eat-in kitchen, living room, dining room, and a gorgeous back porch and garden. Your bedroom comes furnished with a comfortable queen-sized bed and built-in bookshelf and closet. The room also currently contains a small desk, chair and bureau, which can either be left in the room, or removed according to your preference.s Washer, dryer, and storage available in clean, well-lit basement. Kitchen is equipped with a new dishwasher, induction stove, appliances and crockery; sheets and towels can also be provided if desired. The room is 10 x 10 1/2 feet, sunny, with green space outside and 50 feet of built-in bookcase space. There are hardwood floors throughout the apartment and LOTS of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.

The apartment is shared with the owner, an English professor (she/her), and one very friendly cat. I teach at Boston University and work from home 2 or 3 days a week. I'm friendly, quiet, enjoy living with people, and always have some kind of art project going on.

$1500 a month for a minimum of 4 months, includes all utilities electricity, heat and central air, internet, and cleaner every other week. Will consider shorter periods on a case-by-case basis.

Location: 2 minute walk to 77 bus to Harvard Square; 10 minute walk to Davis Square Red Line. Minuteman Bike Path meets Somerville Community Path 7 minutes from apartment.
Steps away from restaurants, cafes, bars, stores, gym, soft-serve ice cream, Davis Square Theater and Pemberton Market. Between Porter Square, Fresh Pond Plaza, Alewife and Davis Square, closest to Davis Square.

Please text Anna or email for more information.

About This Lister

I'm an English professor who loves art and animals and have lived in Cambridge for 25 years. I teach at BU and have a daughter who visits occasionally. I'm neat, independent, flexible and I've always enjoyed living with other people. The space could be great for a visiting academic or someone looking for a beautiful space to live. I'm easy to talk to and a clear communicator. I really appreciate roommates who have positive energy -- having someone sharing this space has been a pleasure. There are several entrances and there's plenty of space for two people not to be on top of each other!
