I was a bit nervous about staying here due to reviews about safety. Rest assured, this area is super safe. Do not take a cab here. Cab drivers only know downtown. Take the T, its cheaper and easier. Terry greeted us and broke down the area for us. We love the layout of the apartment. Our only hiccup was the shower as the temperature was all over the place but that's wasn't a big deal to us as we live in NYC and in our apts the same thing can happen. Plan to eat at The Squealing Pig in Mission Hill it has a great vibe and food. For most of the trip, plan to eat the Back Bay Area as there are some great places around the house but not as many options as we New Yorkers are use to. We had the run of the second apartment and very much enjoyed our stay. If you have any questions, Terry is a text away. We would return to The Fort Hill Inn in any future visits to the area.
