The condo is at the best location in Boston at Harvard bridge/MIT at backbay. This condo has four rooms. Students like to study after midnight. I have study rooms. This condo is at walking distance to MIT or BU. People can buy the condo. He or she can stay in one room and another room can rent to student. The four rooms are one living room, one bedroom, and two extra small rooms. You can walk to downtown to work. You can go to everywhere to Boston by T. You can easily find tenants from MIT and BU or people who work in Downtown. Walk at jog trails of Charles river to work at Mass General Hospital. In the summer, you can rent boats to play in the Charles river. Backbay is best social location
