[Daviscenter-list] Housing for Visiting Fellow

Dear affiliates of the Davis Center, One of our new Visiting Fellows, Adele Del Sordi, is searching for housing near the Davis Center. If you know of anything that meets her requirements listed below, please email her directly at a.delsordi@imtlucca.it<mailto:a.delsordi@imtlucca.it>. Adele in her own words: "I am looking for a furnished one-bedroom apartment or studio (this would be my first preference), or for a room in a shared apartment (with one other person maximum). I would like to lease for six months, October through March. I am arriving on 24th of September, so I can see the place only after that. I do not have specific requirements about the location, only that is not too far from the Davis Center/Widener library (let's say 30 mins walk or less). Regarding the price, I can spend up to $1000-$1100 for the apartment, a bit less in case it is a room in a shared apartment."
