I live above this flat so am very careful for my own safety as well as tenant. The First floor tenants (2 roommates & only others in building) BOTH work at the BRODE CENTER AT M.I.T. (forefront of testing & vaccine for the Boston area) Very very conscientious and tested continuously for work.

LOCATION: It is located albeit on a tree-lined street in Cambridge, it's literally blocks away from Harvard Square, a 5 minute walk to the Harvard Business School or a 10 minute walk to MIT, blocks from subway and literally around the corner from bus into Boston.
The flat is so wonderfully situated between Harvard and MIT on a tree lined residential street in the Riverside Neighborhood. Close to the River for great walks and running, next to Cambridge's two main squares, the famous Harvard Square to the left 3 blocks and Central Square to the right 3-4 blocks out the front door. It's a beautiful period apartment, all original woodwork yet newly remodeled kitchen and bath. See more detail below - but I am confident after 35 years of renting this flat ... that it is a special find. Friendships have been born here, lovely memories created and no disappointments upon arrival yet ... that's a good track record!
TRANSPORTATION: One block from a (Mass Ave) bus line and blocks from either the Harvard Sq. or Central Sq. MBTA stations, it is an ideal location for all of Harvard, Tufts. M.I.T., or for Boston area commuting. There is a shuttle bus to the LONGWOOD MEDICAL CENTER for those affiliated with a Hospital there. (a shuttle bus directly from one block away).
NEIGHBORHOOD: is full of great places to eat, Plow in The Stars, The Cellar, India Palace, Waypoint, Chef Michael Scelfo of Alden & Harlow,
The House of Dumplings - all kinds of eateries within a block, most doing well wit TAKE OUT for now. A pleasant coffee shop Durgans, which feels like San Francisco just a few steps away at the end of the block. Whole Foods, Broadway Market, lots of grocery store choices. ZipCar space across the street!!
The nice thing about Green Street is that you are on a tree lined quiet street with neighbors who know each other & yet one block from Massachusetts Avenue, the central artery through Cambridge and into Boston.
