🎖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.

This was a lovely apartment with great amenities and well equipped kitchen. It was sparkling clean with comfortable beds. Just an FYI, it was farther from downtown than I expected; a 20-25 Uber/Lyft or 25-30 minute train ride, and there is not much within walking distance. Knowing that, it was a nice apartment with good outdoor patio

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.

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.
