About this property
🎖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.

Everything is brand new, modern with very comfortable beds and always new and crisp bedding/linens.

Lovely full apartment with a great location. Our host was highly responsive, the property was clean, quiet, and perfectly well appointed. This is a perfect location to catch the T and explore all of Boston from.
Beautiful clean apt in a lovely house. Great communication with host Eddie. Able to store our luggage early. Near transit. We would highly recommend this place for a visit to Boston
The property is just as it is pictured. Very responsive host. The water pressure and temperature in the shower was great. Outdoor space is cute. The only issue was you could hear the TV from upstairs and then walking but other than that, I would highly recommend staying here. We had a great time.

Lovely apartment that was comfortable and convenient.
Great place for a short stay. It was clean and cozy, just as described in the listing. The check-in process was very easy and The host was very responsive. Highly recommend.
The Ashmont offered the space we needed for a brief visit to Boston (scheduled during Patriots Day weekend and the upcoming Boston Marathon). We appreciate having space available for members of our family to work on college work or check/respond to emails. The kitchen has everything you will need and the coffee/tea option was wonderful. The bedrooms have their own bathrooms.
Beautiful home with a wonderful patio to hang out on. Cool rooms, soft linins and a wonderful kitchen made this feel like a home away from home. Would definitely stay here again
Excellent Location for getting around town
Beautifully renovated apartment in a quiet Neighborhood
Lots of street parking
The kitchen had everything you needed
Would stay here again !!!
I needed a one night stay before starting a tour throughout New England. This location was easy to get to from the trains, the apartment was wonderfully kept and easy to stay in. If you’re in the area, I would consider this location.
My twins and I stayed here to visit four colleges in Boston. It was a great place to stay. There is a beautiful outdoor space that I used in the morning to drink my coffee. The place was spotless and the owners communicated very well.
This is likely the best rental property I’ve stayed in. Amazing value. Very spacious. Well decorated and clean. The hosts were responsive to messages and it was close to most things we wanted to do.
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.
The Ashmont Apartment was beautiful. Eddy was a wonderful host. The train was broken while we were there so we used an Uber to get around. We also rented a car for couple of days to tour Salem and Cambridge. A fantastic trip to 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!!
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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
