International Scholars, Researchers, Students - Lovely Furnished Home Close to Harvard

PLEASE EMAIL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED ! No texts please!

Welcome to Cambridge/Watertown! We are 4 international researchers/ teachers/scientists ( a researcher at MIT from Mexico, a medical doctor from Ethiopia at Harvard, a law student from Texas...
(which we consider foreign), also at Harvard, and me - I teach English as a Foreign Language to recent immigrants), plus Pete the little dog and Peanut the big cat, sharing a lovely 4-bedroom home on a quiet street just a short walk from Mt. Auburn Street, where the #71 bus goes by straight to Harvard Square and the Red Line (the train to Mass General Hospital and downtown Boston). We are just a few steps from the Cambridge Watertown Greenway - everybody is biking! The Star Market is across the street for easy shopping, and the neighborhood is very friendly, safe and quiet. The house is completely furnished, and has a dining room, living room, kitchen, laundry room, 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. There is also a small vine-covered patio, always cool in summer, but we have to be quick to harvest the grapes because the raccoons are waiting!
A housemate has returned home, and his room will be available on February 20th. It is large and spacious, and is furnished with a double bed, computer desk, bureau, bookcase, ceiling fan and hardwood floors. There's also bed linen and towels, so it will be ready to be your new home! The rent (including all utilities) is $1200. Your only additional expense is food (by the way, we have a fully equipped family-style kitchen, and many housemates love to cook international and/or vegetarian meals.)

If you are interested please email and tell us something about yourself! We look forward to meeting you (maybe by Zoom first, if you haven't yet arrived in Cambridge), and wish you all the very best - Yours, Gael
