Rbmom, strathmore/chiswick/sutherland is a very nice area, right near Cleveland Circle between Comm Ave and Beacon St. It is among the nicest areas of Brighton. Most people think it's actually in Brookline. You can walk to all three lines. The Reservoir stop on the D line is right behind the Cleveland Circle Cinema. With the off-street parking, what you describe is excellent. When you initially said "living alone", I thought you meant without a roommate. I think that having a roommate is a much safer way to live.

Make sure she double checks the parking before she signs the lease. Because overnight street parking in Brookline is prohibited, off-street parking spots over there ought to command a pretty good premium.
