Summer at Harvard?
Are you a Washington, DC graduate student, academic or researcher planning to spend the summer working at or near Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts? If you have a comfortable one bedroom apartment near a DC Metro stop, you should consider swapping apartments with me!
As you can see, I have a lovely, 5th floor, corner unit apartment in a secured elevator building on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Shepard Street. It is almost across the street from Harvard Law School, and is a ten minute stroll to Harvard Yard, Widener Library or the Harvard Square T stop.
The apartment is fully furnished, and includes a microwave, television, DVD player, and library composed mainly of free-market oriented economics and public policy tomes, moral philosophy, political theory and period fiction featuring rich, unhappy people in fancy dresses (Austen, Wharton, James, etc.).
Within a two block radius, there are two gourmet coffee shops, a Bank of America machine, three bars at varying levels of niceness, a classy little grocery store and several restaurants. Or just walk to the Square for everything else you might want.
I'd like to make an agreement with a DC resident to switch apartments for 8-10 weeks this summer. Dates are flexible. I'll be working full-time with a think tank in downtown DC. You would be my houseguest and I would be yours! No money changes hands. Please contact me if interested at marie AT mariegryphon Dot com.
