The Location & Transit This first-floor, 1-bedroom apartment is located in Boston's Allston neighborhood. It offers an exceptional commute for academics: 10 minutes by bus or bike to Harvard University and Boston University, and 30 minutes to Boston College and Northeastern University.

This space is especially well-suited for a couple looking to work from home. Dual Workspaces: The large living room includes two work desks equipped with ergonomic chairs. High-Speed Connectivity: Reliable internet with speeds of 600mbps+. Comfort & Light: The living room/workspace receives lots of natural light, creating an inviting environment for productivity. Scholarly Extras: Tenants are invited to make use of our personal library and writing spaces. Bedroom: Features a Queen bed in a quiet part of the street. Home Amenities & Logistics Turnkey Ready: This is a fully furnished home that includes all necessary linens and towels, allowing you to settle in immediately. Rent & Utilities: Monthly rent is $2,800, which is all-inclusive of heat, electricity, water, and high-speed internet. Kitchen: A large, fully equipped kitchen and dining room designed for real cooking. Climate Control: AC units are provided for both the living room and the kitchen. Laundry: In-building laundry features a free washer and a coin-operated dryer (a drying rack is also provided in-unit). Storage: Three closets will be fully cleared out for the tenant's use. Outdoor Living: Access to an outdoor patio space featuring a hammock and a grill. Expectations: We ask for help with bringing in the mail and watering a few simple indoor plants.
