Room for rent in East Boston, $750 utilities incl.

The apartment is a 2 bedroom with one other tenant (me!) and my cat. The room for rent is right off the kitchen and can come furnished with a full size bed, a desk, and a bureau (or not). It is cozy and a bit quirky with 1960's wood panel walls and cornices. If you?re wondering why the rent is so cheap, it?s because my landlady is one of the few in East Boston that believes that there should still be affordable spaces for people to live. There is a huge tv and an extensive collection of movies plus a beautiful shared backyard. The apartment is the 2nd floor in a 3 floor, 3 unit building and the upstairs and downstairs tenants are lovely. The bathroom is shared (including with the cat) as well as the kitchen and living area. It is walking distance from the T, laundromat, Logan airport, as well as several cool restaurants and bars. Piers Park and the shipyard are a few blocks away and Constitution Beach is a couple T stops away. This is the last affordable space in East Boston! The rent is $750 per month, utilities included (electric, gas, H2O, cable, internet, apple tv). I require first and last month's rent upon moving in. I also ask for a $300 deposit.

My ideal roommate would be someone who is clean but doesn't mind clutter - leaving dishes in the sink for a few hours is ok as long as they're cleaned eventually... Someone who is laid back and appreciates movies, music, and food. An ideal roommate would be able to commit to staying for at least 6 months if not longer... has their own life but isn't the type to throw crazy parties or has self-destructive behaviors. Must like and not be allergic to cats. Must have regular income and be responsible about paying rent on time.
