Regarding your list of requirements if you were to share an apartment: I had a similar list, and I found a reasonable number of people on Craigslist who either had the same requirements or were OK with mine. Would you like to see the ad I had up?
And for location: I don't know many neighborhoods here yet, of course, but I can say that Teele Square has the 87 bus which runs right by the Shaw's in Porter Square, and there are rumors of a grocery store going in where the Foodmaster used to be. I go to the library just outside Davis Square, which is tiny but so far has had books I wanted to read. (After I run out, I'm assured that there's excellent interlibrary loan around here, so I'm not too worried.)
