Hi folks. I'm looking to move into a new apartment in Cambridge or Somerville for August 1, and I'm thinking about going through a rental agency to find one.

A quick glance at Craigslist seems to imply that Apartment Rental Experts and Maven Realty have many rentals in my chosen locations within my price range. Anyone willing to comment on their experiences with either agency? Or to recommend another agency? Thanks much.

My experience with Apartment Rental Experts was pretty shitty a couple years ago, though some of it (e.g. lying to me about a landlord's pet policies and fees and such) would probably depend on the particular agent you got. (They also weren't willing to work with my schedule at all when showing the apartment after I had given notice that I wasn't going to renew the lease. )

Edit to add: So I'm not being completely negative and can give some suggestions too, the guy at Red Line Real Estate (http://www.redlinerealestate.com/) was super nice, he just didn't have much that matched my (very particular) requirements and would accept cats. I ended up finding a place through craigslist that just happened to be represented by an agent who were perfectly reasonable (Gateway Real Estate - http://gatewayreg.com/).
