Furnished 2BR near Inman Square in Cambridge - Easy walk to MIT & Harvard

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Preferred Destination: Spain
Alternate Destinations: Italy | United Kingdom | Open to any destination

Apartment or Condo | House Sitting Negotiable
Available Dates:

Description

Live in Cambridge MA five steps from the street and less than a mile to Inman, Kendall, Central and Union Squares, with easy access to Red and Green Line MBTA stations and along several major bus routes. This furnished 2BR condo with 1.5 baths is a 20 minute walk to MIT, a 25 minute walk to Harvard, and would be perfect for visiting scholars, postdocs, and other professionals. The surrounding neighborhood of charming Inman Square has a Walk Score of 97, with many grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, schools, libraries, archives, parks, and shops easily accessible on foot. For needs farther afield, a Bluebikes bike rental station and Zipcars for rent are both just around the corner. The cozy first-floor apartment has a private front entrance and back porch, one dedicated off-street parking spot (which may or may not be in use, depending on the exchange), central AC, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The large bedroom has two spacious closets and a queen bed with adjustable frame. The back bedroom is currently used as an office/study but a twin-size mattress (I keep one in storage for guests) fits easily into the room. With a spacious and comfortable living room in front (equipped with a stereo and 65" OLED TV), open concept kitchen and dining room in back, the apartment offers privacy, space, and flexibility. Feel free to get in touch to discuss the possibility of an exchange!
