Room for Rent
Jul. 10th, 2008 02:39 pmPosting for my roommate, since I'm abandoning her to live with my boyfriend (I'm a cruel, cruel girl).
The apartment is GREAT. Cozy, comfortable, lots of storage, great neighborhood, within walking distance to buses and close to rt 93. I ADORE this apartment (srsly), and if I could stay, I would. If you have any questions about it, I'd be happy to answer them in comments, as well.
Craigslist Posting.
The lease re-starts on August 1, but you can move in any time between July 27 and August 1.
ABOUT THE PLACE:
Five-minute walk to the Medford Square bus stop (94 and 96, with express routes downtown)
Close to Tufts, Davis, Ball Square -- cute quiet street just seconds away from everything
Gorgeous pre-war two-story -- our landlord lives upstairs, while we have the downstairs unit
Very accessible and friendly landlord
Fully furnished common spaces -- living room, formal dining room with built-in hutch, kitchen with in-unit washer and dryer, recently refurbished bathroom
TONS of basement storage space
Front and back porches
Quiet side street, across from a park; street is mostly families and young professionals
Plentiful on-street parking, no permit needed
Ceiling fans in all rooms except kitchen and bathroom
$675 per month, water included
Heat is oil, and we fill the tank about four times a year
Stove is gas -- not like I really know how to use it, since I subsist almost entirely on Hot Pockets
IMPORTANT NOTE: Place also comes with long-haired, friendly, fat kitten. Well-behaved, playful, and the total love of my young, burgeoning-cat-lady life. Cat toys litter the wall-to-wall carpeting.
ABOUT THE BEDROOM:
12x12, just painted last year
Unfurnished -- you bring your bed and whatever else you need
Decent-sized closet
Hardwood floors
ABOUT ME:
Female 23-year-old Massachusetts native, more degrees than absolutely necessary, local university employee
Friendly, nerdy, talkative
Extensive TV-on-DVD collection
Large collection of local take-out menus
Owner of most comfortable couch on the planet (in the living room for your relaxation needs)
HUGE local sports fan -- living room comes with giant Red Sox blankets for maximum coziness
ABOUT YOU:
Female, out of college, gainfully employed
Keeps any party-like tendencies outside the house -- I can enjoy a good house party, of course, but it has to be, you know, in someone else's house
Cat-friendly (between upstairs, downstairs, and outside, this is a four-cat house)
Nerd-friendly
Reasonably clean -- I prefer to describe myself as "cluttered," in that I vacuum regularly but leave my shoes in strange places
Are you a fellow young, professional, cat-loving nerdy Sox-fan female? (We're pretty common, from what I understand.) Then trust me, this is the place for you. I love my house so for both of our sakes, we should sit down and talk before deciding anything.
Again, this is for my roommate (soon to be ex, sniff), so either email her directly via Craigslist, or comment here if you're interested and I can pass on your information to her.
