About this Home Beautiful and spacious with contemporary fixtures throughout, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom shared apartment is now available to rent in the Boston neighborhood of Fort Hill. At 1261-square-feet, this unit occupies the second floor of a Victorian-era triple-decker on a 3,049-square-foot lot with a fenced-in yard. Loaded with new appliances, including a washer and dryer, this recently refurbished apartment features bay windows for lots of natural light, central heating, fresh coats of paint, high ceilings, large bedrooms that can be furnished or unfurnished, modern bathrooms, recessed lighting, refinished hardwood floors, and quartz countertops. This apartment may come fully furnished. As a June member, this Fort Hill apartment includes 24/7 customer support, Wi-Fi. You have the option of renting a single room or this entire second-floor apartment if you are wanting more space for yourself or plan to move in with family and friends. Ask about the availability of this Boston home as an entire apartment when you book a tour to see it in person. Constructed in 1890, this three-decker home is located directly across the street from a shaded urban green space that features a playground for kids. Approximately three miles southwest of Downtown Boston, Fort Hill is technically a sub-neighborhood and historic district within the overarching Roxbury area. An ideal home for both couples and singles wanting to live close to popular Boston attractions, such as Fenway Park and Olmstead Park, this Fort Hill apartment puts its tenants within a short drive of numerous entertainment options. Street parking is available along Dorr Street with a residential parking permit. A perfect home for active individuals that enjoy riding a bicycle, a six-minute bike ride will get you to a Stop & Shop supermarket in nearby Hyde Square. A six-minute walk will get you to a bus stop at John Eliot Square for several MBTA bus routes. For those that prefer to use Boston’s rapid transit system, an 11-minute walk will get you to Roxbury Crossing station for MBTA trains on the Orange Line. The front door of this lovely Fort Hill apartment opens to a huge eat-in kitchen with large windows that provide lots of natural light. The fully renovated kitchen comes equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a Samsung French door refrigerator and dishwasher. The kitchen features beautiful quartz countertops, a convenient breakfast bar that seats four, and modern pendant lighting. Three of the four bedrooms are large enough to accommodate queen-size beds, one of which offers a private ensuite bathroom. The other two bedrooms can support full-size beds, one of which holds the washer and dryer. All four bedrooms boast multiple windows for much-needed natural light and warmth during the day. Recently renovated bathrooms feature new tiling and new vanities with quartz countertops. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities! To ensure it, we ask all our new members to complete a background and credit check and electronically sign a residency agreement.

How rent is calculated
Daily basis
This listing’s rent is calculated on a daily basis. For the first and last months of your stay, you’ll only pay for the exact number of days in your rental period — just like a hotel. We call this a Daily contract type. To confirm your rental, you’ll need to pay one month’s rent in full. Any excess rent you pay for the first month will be subtracted from the next month’s rent.
Cancellation policy

Strict cancellation

If you cancel:

  • Within 24 hours of confirmation – Full refund of first month’s rent
  • After 24 hours of confirmation – No refund

  5. If the landlord accepts your rental application, we’ll collect payment to confirm your stay. If they don’t, your payment will be automatically canceled.
