Five-story building just above Cambridge Common park and west of the Harvard Law School. Five steps to enter the building; main building has an elevator that has never been out of order while I've been here.

The neighborhood is amazing. Things that are less than 10 minute walk away: Harvard Square, Mass Ave shops, Cambridge Public Library, Wa Memorial Recreation Center. Porter Square is a 15-minute walk away.

The apartment is officially a 2-bedroom, but my bedroom is in the formal dining room so you will have your choice of either of the two regular bedrooms. One has two closets, the other has one larger closet. Both face east and get tons of morning light, as does the living room. Other room is currently used for storage and for guests but could become more office-like.

Laundry room (pay for wash and dry via app) is in the basement; there are three washers and three dryers. Property manager has been responsive with any problems (so far, just a toilet that leaked).

I have a small dog (chihuahua mutt guy) who is quiet and has lived happily with a cat roommate for the past year, so another cat or other small pet roommate, if you have one, could work out! I work 9-5 in Kendall Square and would not mind a roommate who works from home. I'm usually out a fair amount evenings and weekends at the gym, movies, etc.

Rooommate is leaving the country so room can be unfurnished or furnished.

About This Lister

I'm a PhD chemist (she/her, 44) that works at a biotech company in Harvard Square (I take the T or bike to work).

I'm from Los Angeles and went to school in Ohio and Texas; since then I've lived in a bunch of places including the Bay Area, the Twin Cities, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, etc. over the years I've had lots of roommates and always had good experiences.

Hobbies: Swimming; exploring Boston via hikes from the commuter rail; quilting; printmaking. I like watching movies at the movie theater (there are 4 great ones walking distance from us); non-commercial radio; reading fiction, especially works in translation.

We have a living room with a TV that I don't use much outside of the occasional weekend morning; we haven't entertained much this year but I'm definitely open to it.

My departing roommate is a Harvard/McLean Hospital neuroscience post-doc who is heading back to the Netherlands for a job.

Lister's Relationship to the Space

I'm a tenant; the landlord has ok'd me finding a new roommate.

Rental requirements

A rental application (sublease with my current roommate as prepared by the landlord); first month's rent and deposit equal to one month's rent, paid to the landlord.

I'm free to show the apartment weeknights after 6 or on the weekends but am out of town for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. My roommate be able to show you the apartment too!

Pets Policy

Small dog or cat (under 40 pounds).
