1 room avail. in elegant 2-bedroom Porter Square apt

Hi! I am looking for a roommate to join me and my cat in a cozy, spacious ground floor apartment (2 bed/1 bath), located in a pre-war brick building on Agassiz St, Cambridge (near Porter Square). The area is residential and very quiet. The earliest... lease start date is 7/1 but a later move-in date would also work.
The rent is $1650 a month, including heat and water. The apartment will be completely furnished except for the bedroom (which is the first photo in the listing – but note that the pictured furniture will not be included). The building is well-maintained with very responsive management. There is a quarter-operated laundry room in the basement.
The location is superb – everything you could possibly need (groceries, cafes, other shops) is within a short walk, including public transportation for commuting. It's a 7-minute walk to Porter Square T station; a 20-minute walk to Harvard University (12 minutes by bus); and a 25 minute trip by train to MIT.
A little about me: my name is Louis (he/him) and I'm a PhD student. I moved to Boston from Australia three years ago for school. Please let me know if you have any questions.
