 * This is pricy but looks interesting. To really know how good this place is you really need to see it. If you like it I would definitely be happy to live here.

 * Yes I will be available to show this weekend, either Saturday morning, or we can try and work something out for Sunday. Will also see if I can rustle up some more photo's.


 * Cats are cute, kids' cute too. :) There will be a cat (named Beef) that lives on the decks/roof, so beware.


 * Roof deck is PRIVATE, minus Beef. It is open to the other roof decks and it shares a common back stair case, but you would have the right to kick people off it even if you can't stop the neighbors from peeking.


 * Neighborhood is quite, tree lined and 1 block from a park and play ground. 10min walk max to central sq & inman sq. 20min walk to kendall and harvard


 * Next door neighbor is kind of a freak, but she means well. She would also be your landlord. Other people in the building are couples from the various universities and 30something professionals.


 * Front stairs are not a prob for kids of any size, also carpeted.


 * The back deck and loft... Everything is newly renovated and inspected by the city, but yes, it's on the top floor. The loft also has an aquarium ceiling that covers a peek hole that drops 2 stories. It's covered with bullet proof glass, but it is something you should see and define as safe enough for your family yourself.


 * Hope that answer your questions for now. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have more.

 * Grethe,


 * The pictures look great, and we’d love to see more if they were available. I’m trying to work out my schedule to possibly come up to the Boston area this weekend (not 100% sure yet), and would love to see this apartment if you are available to show it.


 * Our cats are great. Attached you should find two pictures of our cats, Mishkin and Pepper.   Mishkin’s photo is also with our son, Korbin, from earlier this spring.  No problem with paying a security deposit on the cats in case they do any damage.


 * Anything else you can tell us about the apartment, neighborhood or other tenants? I assume the roof deck is shared with the other tenants in the building?  How are the stairs to the 3rd floor, sometimes in older homes they can be pretty steep and/or dangerous for small children (even though ours isn’t walking yet (this week….)).

 * AvailableSeptember 1st.


 * The loft is high enough to put in a desk and a bed, but not high enough to walk up right the whole time.
 * The loft is separate form the 2 bedroom floor plan and just sits on top to be used as a spare room or storage.


 * Deleaded... I'm not sure. I would say no at this point and can update you later if I find out otherwise. It's all new construction in an old frame and would be up to code when remodeled in 2001.


 * It would depend on the cats, do I get to see pics?
 * Would you be willing to pay a pet deposit of $200 for each cat?


 * 3rd floor, roof top.


 * Utilities included are hot water.
 * Gas & Electric not, but with the insulation gas is less then $40 year round and in the summer with 2 ACs electric can reach $90.


 * Anything else I can help you with?
