Terry was an excellent host. He contacted me several times before my trip, making sure that we understood how to get to the apartment, and offering to answer any questions. He checked in with us a couple of times during our stay, and was also kind enough to let us check out late,when we had a last-minute flight change. We stayed at two different apartments of Terry's, and both were very well-appointed and comfortable, with maps and local guides that Terry had put together. The one-bedroom apartment was especially cozy & charming, as many vintage details were kept intact, and its heated with radiators instead of forced-air. The only caveat I'd have is that visitors who are coming from out of the area need to be aware that although this is in Roxbury, it is adjacent to Jamaica Plain, which is a transitional neighborhood. We (four women)had a couple of cab drivers tell us to be careful walking in the area at night; walking back from the T at night is not a good idea; daytime is fine (cab from Bostom Common was $15 or less).
