Slightly farther to MIT, Tufts & Bentley. Option to use my car for $150/ month (you pay for gas & insurance). Safe, quiet, diverse neighborhood with many Middle Eastern restaurants & shops. Amazing yoga studio one block away. Many excellent restaurants and independent grocers within 1-6 blocks. Large grocery store 0.5 mile away on public bus route. Small pet negotiable (1-2).
