🎖The Ashmont Apartment - Close to Subway & Downtown Boston🎖

This stunning 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment is brand spanking new - along with all of the furnishings. It includes one queen & one full size ensuite bedrooms. The unit is extremely clean and very nicely decorated. Only a 5 minute walk to Ashmont station (red line), which will take you directly to downtown Boston, Harvard Square, South Boston, Kendall/MIT, U Mass. There are two great restaurants nearby - Via Cannuccia and Tavolo Ristorante, as well as a local coffee shop + a Dunkin just across the T station.

The Space

The historical property was built in 1894. It is located in Ashmont Hill, which is an area within Boston's Dorchester neighborhood that is known for their beautiful victorian homes, and its diverse and eclectic neighborhood.

The house is located only about a five minute walk from Ashmont T station, which is the first or last station on the red line. Extremely convenient.

The Ashmont Apartment is Unit 1 (First Floor) of our two family home to which we have converted the entire property into a unique Guest House and Outdoor Living Space that is open year round, with the exception of The Office - which is closed during the winter months. The Ashmont Suite or Unit 2 is in the second and third Floor, while @ The Boiler Room is located in the garden level.

***IF YOU ARE PLANNING OR LOOKING FOR A SPACE TO HOST A PARTY/EVENT/FRIENDS, OR TO BE IN A SPACE TO BE LOUD, THIS IS NOT THE SPACE FOR YOU.

Guest Access

The Ashmont apartment is a 2 bedroom / 2 bath apartment. One bedroom (The Map Room) has a queen size bed and its own ensuite bathroom. While the other room (The Elephant Room), comes with a full size bed and its own ensuite bathroom as well. The apartment includes an open living room and kitchen. Everything is brand new, modern with very comfortable beds and always new and crisp bedding/linens.

Eddie is an EXCELLENT host. He was super responsive and helpful. The place was very clean and the decor was great. Subway is an easy 10 minute walk from house and we could go pretty much anywhere in the city. The only downside for us was not enough tall chairs for 4 adults to enjoy eating together, too few towels and washcloths, and the washer advertised in the description was only available to long term guests. Otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Fantastic first time in Boston!

We couldn't have picked a more enjoyable accommodation for our recent visit to Boston. The property is not only immaculate but it exudes so much character and is in a very convenient location to everything we needed. We all looked forward to coming "home" to the "Ashmont" at the end of each busy tourist day, and cozying up with friends and wine! Thank you!!

FIRST CLASS ACCOMMODATION

Excellent apartment in a lovely building. The property listing was very accurate and the apartment was immaculately clean and well equipped. Eddie is a great host and reacted very promptly to resolve a couple of trivial issues. The location was good with easy access to the T for the days we spent in Boston. It was also a good location for exploring New England. I did receive a traffic violation for parking our rental car pointing the wrong way - something other visitors from the UK may need to consider. Overall, a great base for an equally great holiday.

Boston New Years

The home is everything as described in the property advertisement. It's very clean and we had great communication with the owner. The secondary bedroom clearly states it is a "Full" bed however this can become cumbersome when accommodating two adult couples. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean and modern. All come with a nice supply of extra useful amenities. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Beautiful apartment!

We loved our stay! The apartment was immaculate, and the bedrooms were bigger than expected, with two separate bathrooms really adding to the appeal. There was plenty of space for our party of two couples. The decor was beautiful and the kitchen mostly well appointed. The backyard area was lovely, although we weren't aware that the office/bar structure would not be accessible until we arrived. Also, there was not a regular coffee maker (only a nespresso machine), which was a bit of an inconvenience. Other than that we truly enjoyed our time at the Ashmont House!

No complaints at all!

We visited Boston for a little getaway for my mom's birthday. I had lots of fun things planned for the holiday season (visiting Boston Common Park for the lights, tree and ice skating) yet still entertaining my toddler. A short drive to both the park and the Boston Museum of Science, which I highly recommend. I also made a reservation for a yurt at The Boston Bowery, which is super close by and the food was delicious!!!! The apartment looks exactly like the photos...EXTREMELY clean, very comfortable, beautifully decorated and very cozy, although i'm sure the backyard is perfect for the summertime too! I cannot recommend this apt enough! I would 100% stay again! My mom wouldn't stop raving about how much she loved it too whenever we talk about our trip :)

Beautiful, immaculate property

The property was in an old, historic region and the apartment had been recently renovated tastefully and beautifully. I don't think we have ever stayed in a property that was so immaculately maintained. With every question we had from planning through the stay Eddie, the co-owner responded to me immediately and in a very friendly manner. The downside was the location. Even though it was easy walking distance from the "T" and we were able to easily travel with public transportation from the airport, the location was in an area that we did not feel comfortable walking in, esp. at night. Access to restaurants and stores was not convenient. We (myself, spouse and graduating grandaughter) were happy we stayed here.

Charming restored Victorian house; immaculately maintained

This was a lovely Victorian home and it is evident that the owners take a lot of pride in maintaining it and providing for their guests. The beds were comfortable and the shower lovely. There were plenty of kitchen amenities for cooking, although we did not use them. The downsides were a couple. As others mention, there is not a lot of sound insulation. One night we had a family above us and you could hear very clearly the sound of little feet running overhead. You also can clearly hear road noise from the two nearest streets. Fortunately, both of these noises settled down by 10:00 so we didn't have any issues getting sleep. The house is on a very nice street, but, again as others have said, a block or two over the neighborhood is a little sketchier than we would have liked. But we had no issues whatsoever.The unit more than adequately served our purpose, which was to attend our daughter's graduation and move her stuff out of her apartment. Overall, it was roomy enough for the two of us and very clean.

Beautiful property with one major flaw

We have never stayed in a VRBO property as nice, clean and well appointed as this one. It was perfect by any measure except for one significant problem. This was a well restored Victorian home with one unit over the second unit. There is essentially no noise insulation between the units. We were unfortunate to have occupants above us that played music and operated their tv past midnight every evening, the first night to 1:30 a.m. As we are senior adults and try to retire in early evening the result was we were unable to fall asleep. Every night was the same experience. We tried cotton balls to muffle the sound but no relief. If staying here bring ear plugs or plan to stay up late.

Ashmont House - Yes, Indeed!

You will be pleased to stay at the Ashmont House. This historic Victorian has three separate units on its three floors; we stayed on the main floor unit and got a glimpse of the basement unit. From the outside the house is on above par compared to other renovated Victorians in the neighborhood. Nice, confidence inspiring. But once you step inside the charm and coziness immediately makes you say to yourself, " Good choice, Bro." Seriously, Eddie and Nayeli have created a setting that maintains the historic qualities of the Victorian architecture yet caters to the modern day needs and expectations of today's travelers. The decor, fixtures and finishes are all perfectly coordinated in a smartly historic-modern blend. My favorite part: the kitchen, as seen in the photo. It's clean and accommodating, and we had many fantastic meals cooking and eating together. The living area is warm and embracing, and the two well-appointed bedrooms are invitingly restful. Just perfect. We did not stay in the aforementioned basement, but we did get to peek inside and noted that it is totally a romantic getaway--despite being below ground level, it is bright and warm...it is a cozy love nest that you will not want to leave. Eddie and Nayeli are great hosts--always quick to reply to messages, always ready to help. Thank you, Eddie and Nayeli!

Very Comfortable and Clean

The property had all we needed for our stay. We enjoyed ourselves. Very clean. A bit tricky trying to run the A/C. Directions would be helpful. It was too cold, when we arrived. We just turned them off completely. We also tried setting the thermostat, and it was no possible without a PIN number. That was also confusing. As with the coffee maker. We have never seen one like that, and finding coffee filters in the closet and no way to use them was confusing. But, we did figure it all out. We parked in the driveway, and we were asked to move, which was fine. We have a brand new car and felt it was safer in the driveway. No, problem we moved it. It made us feel uneasy, when we were asked to move it, like we were being watched. We’re we being watched inside too? An uneasy feeling. All in all, we did like your place and will recommend it to our friends. We were impressed by your quick response, when we had a question. We are also greatful for the help you gave us on the computer situation. Thank you.

Ashmont property

Pros: Extremely clean and nice! We loved the remodeled apartment it was immaculate. The air conditioner units worked extremely well in the bedrooms. The property manager immediately fixed an issue we had. Cons: Location-even though the property was located the 5 minute walk from the T it was not in a good area. We did not feel safe walking there and even a cop at the T station told us to not walk back in the dark after the Red Sox game (2 female guests). We did not feel the description of a local coffee shop/good restaurant was properly represented since it was in the area we did not feel comfortable walking in. Even though the property was very nice the walls were super thin! Neither of us got sleep —the people below must of worked in telemarketing at night hours because all we heard all night was them talking loudly(even with our noise app on) and the TV was blaring very late hours of the night. Next, the people above the apt walked very hard and someone coughed/sounded like they were choking in sleep all night both nights! We do realize this isn’t something the owners of the VRBO can help but it made for an unpleasant stay to us. To top it off the fire alarm battery was old and started chirping non stop from 4am-8am.
