Bright, sunny simple room in an unpretentious funky apartment in a 110 year old house in the geographical heart of Boston, 3 miles from the city center.

The room is one of three private bedrooms in a first floor apartment on a hill, on a hill - yes two hills! And then two flights of stairs. The room has a queen size bed and very large closet.

Ideal for grad students, researchers, or professionals who are looking for a temporary place to live while they do research or rotations in Boston/Cambridge or look for more permanent housing.

Other things to note
Je peux parler un peu de français.
Smokers are welcome to smoke outside.

You'll be happy here if:

1. you are okay with a really old house. It has some of its original 125-year-old detail and that can be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective.
2. you are open minded.
3. you understand that this is a quirky private older home and not a homogeneous hotel or newly constructed McMansion.
4. Though cats do not live in this apartment (unless you want one to) they do live in the house so you will see them in the hallway and they may greet you (or run away from you) on the porch.
5. You care enough about the environment to walk the talk. Toxic cleaning materials (for house and body) are discouraged and toxic laundry supplies are absolutely forbidden (we have allergies). Alternatives are provided but ask if you don't know!
