Christie's place is a homy welcoming apartment and there's plenty to do around. She was really nice and answered every need I had. I could stay and work in the apartment when I didn't go to the university. The place looks just like the pictures and there's plenty of storing facilities in the room. It's not the cleanest place...
I had to get to the MIT and it took about 30-40 minutes (and the bus is not very frequent), but I know that getting to Harvard is much easier. overall the place and surrounding are good places to be in.
