A room in 2BR ground-floor apartment. I'm a graduate student at MIT who currently lives here and my roommate is moving out early. I'm looking for a person in similar situation (grad student or young professional) to move in and take over his half of the lease. The rent is $1025/month plus utilities (electricity & internet ~$50). The lease ends in September but we'll have the option to renew. I'm an easy going individual who likes to have fun and I'd like someone who's similar and friendly. Some perks: - Great location in central and a 24 hour pizza place right outside - Central air (heating and cooling) - Minutes to Central Square/Red Line (10 mins to MIT/Harvard) Please reply if you're interested and tell me a little bit about yourself and your situation. Thanks!
