Fully furnished room near Red Line T stop ($1375)

I have a fully furnished room available in the 2 bedroom apartment that I live in. The apartment is the downstairs unit of a duplex that is just a short walking distance from the Alewife metro station (red line), Massachusetts avenue (bus line 77)... and the minuteman biking path. Neighborhood is quite and convenient for public transportation and bike commuting as well as leisurely walks and jogging. There are two parks and a community garden within 15 minutes walking distance. One of the parks is located by the beautiful Spy Pond.

I am originally from Turkey, came to the US for higher education and moved to Boston for a post doc at Harvard University a few years ago. After the post doc, I took a job in industry but continue to have academic collaborations and independent scholarly work as opportunities arise.

In terms of personality and living, I love living in a clean, organized, warm, and welcoming place. I feel cozy among plants and arts most of which are made by friends. I identify as queer, love the outdoors, dabble in arting & crafting, occasionally host friends and would love like-minded folks to foster a warm, welcoming and calm household with. Short-term inquiries are welcome!
