Bright apartment close to campus

Furnished 1BR in the heart of Cambridge | Subletting my home for the summer

Hi! I'm a 30, F PhD student at Harvard heading away for the summer and looking for someone to take good care of my apartment and my plants while I'm gone.

The apartment is... on Chauncy Street, a quiet, tree-lined street just north of Harvard Square, in a classic pre-war brick building with a lovely garden entrance. It's a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom with hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and genuinely great natural light all day long.

The living room is the heart of the place. It has a decorative fireplace with a white mantle, built-in shelves with books and plants, a velvet sofa, and a glass dining table. The kitchen opens directly onto the living room and has everything you need. The bedroom has a full bed, a proper desk setup, a dresser, and two big windows that look out onto the trees. It's a lovely place to read or work in the mornings.

I've put real care into making this feel like a home rather than a rental, so the person moving in should feel comfortable living in a furnished, lived-in space with art on the walls and plants that will need some watering. The plants are easy, I promise. I'll leave full instructions.

What's included: heat & hot water, A/C, Wi-Fi, building laundry
Available: July to August (approximately 2 months, dates negotiable)
Address: 21 Chauncy St, Cambridge, MA 02138
