About this Home
If you are looking for a home in Cambridge with a lot of space at a reasonable price, take a look at this four-bedroom, one-bathroom shared apartment. Located in Inman Square, a small mostly commercial neighborhood roughly three miles outside of Boston, this 1101-square-foot unit features antique hardwood floors, freshly painted walls, high ceilings, large windows for natural light, HVAC heating, and lots of closets for storage. All four bedrooms can accommodate queen-size beds, nightstands, and dressers or desks. The tile-floor bathroom offers a new sink and dual-flush toilet, lots of cabinets, a walk-in shower, and wainscot paneling on the walls. A spacious, newly remodeled, eat-in kitchen boasts name-brand stainless appliances, including a microwave and dishwasher, a large pantry, and can easily hold a dining table with four chairs. Similar to other neighborhoods in Cambridge and Boston, Inman Square refers to both the busy commercial intersection and the small residential district you will find it in. A short drive away from both Harvard University and Downtown Boston, Inman Square is home to an eclectic demographic that consists of college students, families, and working professionals. A popular retail destination for Cambridge residents, Inman Square offers plenty of local restaurants and shopping options along Cambridge Street, which serves as the main commercial thoroughfare for this friendly, walkable neighborhood. Inman Square is unique in its noticeable Brazilian and Portuguese influence that can be seen and tasted in the many storefronts that occupy this 1.8-acre neighborhood. A lack of direct access to Boston’s rapid transit system keeps the foot traffic to a manageable level and preserves the charming aspects of this friendly, tree-lined neighborhood. Despite its size, Inman Square does boast a decent selection of nightlife options that include live music venues and trendy bars. This charming apartment is situated on the top floor of an iconic triple-decker home less than two blocks from Cambridge Street, where you will find local stores, restaurants, and supermarkets. If you are looking to take advantage of Boston’s rapid transit system, you will need to head down to another popular commercial district known as Central Square. A ten-minute walk will get you to Central station for the Red Line train, which will get you up to Harvard University or over to Downtown. This smoke-free unit can be furnished or unfurnished before moving in and includes WiFi and a large flat-screen TV.
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!

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
