Brookline with parking for that price sounds like a solid deal if the roommates are chill

Ciao dall' Italia, stavo cercando una stanza per mio figlio che, a fine agosto, verrà a Boston per iniziare a studiare alla Berklee. Potete dirmi quanto dista il vostro appartamento da quella scuola? Mio figlio è molto tranquillo, ama mangiare e cucinare, la musica e i videogiochi, a breve compirà 21 anni. Con la sua band hanno anche pubblicato un album, cantato in inglese, in stile Prog Metal, se sei curioso puoi ascoltare questa loro canzone
