Every snag listing shows the exact block, so you can pick based on your commute.

How early should I start looking for a sublet in Allston?

Start looking six to eight weeks out. Allston turns over almost entirely on September 1 with BU students, so the best inventory for the academic year goes by mid-July. Summer inventory goes quickly, so set an alert on snag to get notified when new listings post.

Are Allston sublets usually furnished?

Most are furnished. Allston subletters are typically BU students heading home for a semester, HBS students between terms, or summer interns leaving in August, so the apartments typically stay as they are: bed, couch, kitchen, and Wi-Fi. Every listing on snag indicates whether it's furnished or unfurnished.
