Clean and Comfortable 4 Bed/2 Bath Apartment in Walking Distance to Red Line T Stations

I am moving out and looking for someone to take over my spot on the lease in this incredible 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment at 78 Morrison Ave (Apt 1). The space is perfect for graduate students or young professionals looking for a clean, productive... home base with an effortless commute into Cambridge and Boston.

Highlights of the Apartment:
-Your room is a large bedroom with two windows (that open!) with a closet. You will share a full bathroom with only one other roommate.
-In-Unit Laundry with separate washer and dryer, no basement or coin-op laundry!
-Central heating AND central AC
-Full functional kitchen with a shared fridge, dishwasher, gas stove/oven, microwave, and plenty of cabinet space.
-Shared large back porch with a grill and green space to host small potlucks and parties (or just hang out).

Highlights of the Area:
-Less than a 10-minute walk to Davis Square (Red Line) and about an 11-minute walk to Porter Square (Red Line & Commuter Rail). For reference, my commute to MIT takes barely 25 minutes.
- You will be right on the Somerville Community Path. You can easily walk to local grocery stores, neighborhood markets, fitness centers, and dozens of Davis Square’s best restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.
- Overall a quiet neighborhood with live music, shows, art sales, and more steps away from your front door!

You’ll be sharing the apartment with two other female PhD students currently at MIT, who are both tidy, respectful, and enjoy a quiet and calm environment to work and relax.

Please reach out with an introduction, or any questions you may have! We would love to meet you.
