I just started a job in Cambridge and am staying at Mike’s for two months before moving into my own place. His apartment is very comfortable, I have plenty of storage space and my own bathroom, and there are little touches everywhere—for example, he added a couple of clotheslines in the backyard before I got here. He was cool with my boyfriend and our dog staying while I moved in, and his dog Cody and I were instant pals. Mike will treat you like a friend and is always full of suggestions of places to go.
