How easy is it to get from Somerville to Cambridge? I would not have a car, so ideally bus or walking are my options

Fairly easy, you could get to Cambridge from Somerville in 15-20 minutes by bus. I’ve lived in the area for about 4 years and love how bike-friendly and walkable the area is

It entirely depends on which part of each city. Could be as easy as walking one block or as difficult as taking 3 buses

Seriously, look carefully at a street map and transit maps. Somerville and Cambridge are wide cities from northwest to southeast and are basically stacked on top of one another. Proximity really depends on location. Somerville is a great city, and you should definitely include it in your living options as long as the location works for commuting. Similarly, just being in Cambridge doesn't ensure an easy commute. Traversing east-west across Somerville and/or Cambridge is a laborious, sucky commute that I would seek to avoid, if possible.
