Terry was an excellent host responding promptly to all enquiries before and after our booking. We actually only met him very briefly during our stay as we were out a lot.

The fact that we only met him this once is a testament to the effective arrangements he has in place for checking in and checking out. Also, we found everything in the apartment was in working order therefore there was no need to trouble him.

The apartment was as described in the listing and in excellent shape with clear instructions on various matters. Strong Wi-Fi signal was available.

The neighborhood was fine. It was fairly quiet and we always felt safe. The Roxbury Crossing ‘T’ station is a short 4 to 5 minute walk away and with trains every 10 minutes or so you are downtown in no time at all (10 minute ride to Downtown Crossing).

If you are staying for more than a couple of days an $18 MBTA weekly pass is excellent value as it includes trains, buses and the inner harbor water taxi. It is also very easy to travel to/from the airport using the ‘T’ (approx. 40 min) saving on expensive taxis/ shuttles.

Cannot comment on local shopping, as we tended to bring in groceries from the excellent Wholefoods Market in downtown Boston.

We had a great time in Boston and if we return to the city we would be delighted to stay at Terry’s place again.
