Comfy, Clean, Convenient

A wonderful alternative to a cramped hotel room for a fraction of the price. Ideal for fit younger people. Stairs could be an issue for some. Also, it’s a hilly neighborhood and though the T is close, the walk back could be tough. Kitchen nicely equipped; there's a coffee maker—bring your supplies! Nice beds and bedding. Good place to stay!

Beautiful and comfortable

The place is decorated beautifully. Kitchen is stocked including nice appliances. Beds are super comfortable. Secure, safe and clean building. Quick response from the homeowners. Bathroom and bedrooms are downstairs, you have to be very careful using the staircase. There is a steep hill to climb to get back from the station. I got my work out for sure, but felt safe walking in the neighborhood. Definitely would recommend this property.

Beautiful place!

Fort Hill Inn is an amazing property! It was perfect for our Boston stay. It really is super close to the orange line train, but beware; there is a massive hill to climb up at the end of the day! We had no issues with it, but it is a beast. We felt extremely safe in the area and any neighbors that were out were friendly when we said hello. The host was very communicative and kind enough to let allow us to check in early. We cooked breakfast every morning and had everything we needed to do so. The water was hot and there were a decent number of towels for every body in our group. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept like the dead. We would 100% stay here again. Such a well kept and clean place. You will not be disappointed!

Greatly disappointed.

Not made aware of circular stairs for descent to two basement bedrooms & bath. Dangerous. Bathroom extremely small. Mattresses most uncomfortable. Need replacing. Purpose of stay to visit granddaughter @Northeastern. Advised with rental consideration to owner, that we would be bringing healthy, ambulatory 96 yr. old great-grandfather. Feel owner was inconsiderate not to make us aware of potential staircase challenge. To ascend to 1st floor living quarters, we needed to walk him via outside alley way to reenter house and walk down very dangerous stairway to use bathroom. No sink plug nor wash basin in kitchen to wash dishes. Have stayed many times nationwide with VRBO & never been let down. --Howes, Exton, PA

Wonderful stay in Boston

We loved staying at Terry’s place in Boston. I was moving my son into his college apartment near Berklee College of Music (1 1/2 mi away). My son stayed with me at this wonderful 2 bedroom home in Roxbury until we got his apartment set up. It was quick and easy to hop on the T…just a 5 min walk from Terry’s place. We had everything we needed. The home was clean and comfortable with nice style. The small kitchen had everything we needed. Terry was wonderful and responded quickly to any request I had. He went above and beyond….He even brought me milk over at 11 pm! I have stayed at many vacation rentals and this place is top notch. Thanks Terry!!

Convenient location to Boston attractions

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and convenient location. We were just a block or so from the subway station. This made for easy access to Boston attractions. The house is roomy and our family of 5 had ample space to spread out. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond when we had any questions.

The property has a lovely appointment. Very comfortable and convenient for our weekend plans. I know the neighborhood very well, since I lived there most of my life... it was good to be close to "home". Lots of changes, but very easy access to lots of places in Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and Downtown Boston!

Pros & Cons - but proximity to subway was excellent.

I find reviews very helpful. I will try to be brief and fair. Pros - Terry greeted us upon arrival. Very cordial with helpful advice and responsive to communications. 7 minute walk to subway was SO SO great! Access to Laundry facilities was much appreciated. Having a kitchen saved us $$. Grocery store w/i a short walk. Wifi for free. Cons - This place is on a fairly busy street. The back bedroom is relatively quiet. The front bedroom hears plenty of traffic. I thought it would be quieter because it looked like the unit is on a dead end. It is, but it's the front unit and it faces the main street. Mattresses seem old. They could get a quick fix with memory foam mattress toppers. I never bathed in a shower that had half a glass divider. I wasn't sure how it would be. Turns out I was cold. Not having a full door, wall or shower curtain means most of the warmth of the shower escapes. The shower head could have been higher. We had to bend down to get our heads under the water. Owner is up front about No refunds (at all). Buying trip insurance, from an outside company, put an additional cost onto our trip.

Terry was great to deal with and responded to any questions we had. Apartment was clean and was accurately depicted in the pictures. Apartment is conveniently located 5 minutes from Roxbury Crossing T line station which we used as the primary source of transit during our stay. Overall it was a great experience and would stay there again.

Cozy with plenty of room

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Boston. The duplex had everything we needed. We loved the easy access to the train. Be aware there is a pretty good hike up a hill from the station to the duplex, but we appreciated the good cardio workout. Lyft service was also great. Never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a pick-up.

Loved the Fort Hill Inn. Perfect for our family of 6. Conveniently located.

It was our first trip to Boston and this was a great place to stay. Terry put together a very help house and area guide which was appreciated and helped us get oriented. Fort Hill was clean, comfortable, and lovely furnished. Enough space for all 6. The Roxbury Crossing T stop was just a few minute walk away and how we got around most the time. Parking was close by the flat, just not directly in front of it. A multicultural area with a safe feel day and night Coffee on hand when arrived. Grocery stores close by allowed us to easily cook in a few days during our stay. Would choose Fort Hill again.
