🎖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. 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.

The property was great, close to family and friends. My only complaint was we were unable to figure out how to change the thermostat to cool the house down…user error? Maybe.

Great Stay
Hosts are very responsive & accommodating! Our group had a couple concerns regarding our luggage & the hosts made sure we had everything figured out. The property is very beautifully maintained & is within a 10 minute walk of the subway. If public transport isn’t for you, there are plenty of Uber/Lyfts in the area. I would stay here again when visiting Boston!

Very nice property and very clean. Nicely decorated and updated. Would have appreciated a standard (regular) coffee maker and some instructions on how to operate the nespresso. We also thought there was a washer and dryer based on the listing, but this 2 bedroom unit does not have them.

A perfect jewel
The area is very convenient for getting to Boston and surrounding areas. Ashmont metro is less than 10 mins walk. Some of it is a little eclectic and colourful. Limited restaurants in the area, you really need to drive. The property is fantastic a real home from home. Very well fitted out loved sitting outside in the morning reading a book with a cup of coffee. Great communication from the owner. Beautiful touches in the property and well equipped. Eddie was fantastic and very professional. Really enjoyed our stay.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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!!
