Oh, I am sorry to hear this... (Moving... OK, obviously, moving puts an additional stress on relationships, but I really have had other friends break up right after moving.) Anyway, I hope you can find an apartment that you like, I will think about you when I hear about friends' places. Are you looking to live in Somerville again? And with lots of room-mates, just one, or none? Most landlords don't consider geckos "pets" so you don't have to look for "pet-friendly" on an apartment listing.
