I live on Montebello Rd. It is a street with many students, families, and young professionals, and borders the latin neighborhood as well. A little about me: I am mid-50's, gay, in a relationship (she lives in sville), work in the healthcare field. Learning ukelele, have been a percussionist. Live a quiet life-mostly reading, dinners w/friends, tv since I work f/t in a stressful job. The neighborhood has a very active neighborhood group, and the neighbors are friendly and hip.  Most of the buildings are condos, and owner occupied. I live on the third floor of a typical triple decker.The light is great, it is quiet.  I have two bdrms., and you would get the large sunny one, unfurnished. It has a large closet.Otherwise, I have the rest of the space amply furnished.  There are two decks, and w/d in basement. It is a one way street so there is ample parking. I am fine with you bringing your furry friend depending on size/age/temperment. My kitten is 9  months old, and is used to other furry creatures. My pooch lila might be ok with the arrangement as well. I would be asking for 1200 would include all-heat/water/elec./cable. I am seriously considering a job offer in W. MA. If I decide to do this, I would stay there 4 days of the week, and return on most weekends. If not, I would be around and share the space 50/50.  There is a chance of it being a non-traditional arrangement. It would be available to rent starting 5/1, 6/1, or 7/1.
