The apartment is ~950 sqft on the first floor of the building, and the room for rent is one of three bedrooms. See the attached picture for the layout of the apartment. The other two roommates are super friendly. One is a woman in her mid 20s who works as a data analyst, and the other is a guy in his mid 20s who works in insurance analytics. The apartment itself is a short walk to Assembly Row, the East Somerville Green Line Station, and the Sullivan Square Orange Line Station, where you can pick up the Orange Line or numerous buses into the surrounding areas (e.g. Davis, Harvard, Kendall/MIT, Central); see the map in the attached pictures. You can also walk to MIT in 30 minutes. The unit has three bedrooms as well as an efficiently designed kitchen, pantry, and bathroom. The apartment on the second floor (directly above) will have three nice folks in a similar living situation to the first floor.
