What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Neighborhood Nine Cambridge

Every day we would walk in the park near where we lived and breathe the fresh air on the green and cobblestone paths

There are a lot of bars and restaurants close by. We also have a subway station close by. There are many little parks and playgrounds.

I like walking along the Charles. Harvard Square is close by with many restaurants and coffee shops.
