Located on a beautiful residential street near the heart of Somerville, this apartment is a few blocks away from a bustling commercial district at the intersection of Bow Street and Somerville Avenue. Here you will find retail shopping and dining options, as well as a decent selection of bars, cafes, and grocery stores. Inman Square is another nearby commercial district that offers even more dining and nightlife options for those looking for entertainment.

A seven-minute walk from the front door of this home will get you to Union Square station for D and E trains on MBTA’s Green Line. Proximity to Harvard University in Cambridge makes this a perfect home for college students and faculty members. An eight-minute bicycle ride will get you to campus. For those that drive, street parking is available in front of this home, along Columbus Avenue. If you are in the mood for some outdoor recreation and exercise, check out nearby Prospect Hill Park, which offers open green space and paved trails you can walk.

The main room in this apartment can easily accommodate a full-size bed, nightstands, media console, and a two-person dining set or a personal workspace. Small but efficient, the kitchen boasts ample cabinet space for storage and a two-burner electric cooktop. A top-freezer refrigerator is located in the main room of this apartment. The bathroom features a bathtub and shower combination. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities! To ensure it, we ask all our new members to complete a background and credit check and electronically sign a residency agreement. You'll need to share your ID and Social Security Number (for those in the US) with us. We'll shoot over the agreement after you book, and we kindly ask you to sign it quickly to guarantee your room. For your credit, we're looking for scores above 550-650, depending on your city and we'll need a clean criminal record too (this doesn't apply to DC). If you meet all the requirements, you will receive the agreement which you need to sign within 24 hours. We do not provide towels, linens, or other similar amenities. Guests are required to bring these items with them. We hope this setup meets your needs for an extended stay, and we look forward to hosting you!
