Hosts earn frequent praise for fast, friendly communication and smooth check-in and checkout. Recurring drawbacks include limited nearby dining, mixed comfort with the surrounding area after dark, and noticeable noise between units. Expect a stylish, well-appointed home base best suited to subway-savvy travelers.

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!

The property was beautiful! It is on a quiet street with ample parking. My only complaint, if you even want to call it that, was that the outside bar area is closed during certain times of the year, including now. I thought because it could be closed in ,we would be able to use it and the listing didn't mention it being closed off. However, the communication with the hosts was efficient and effective! We would go back during warmer weather.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

This was one of the nicest stays that we’ve had at a vacation rental. We rented two units: The Boiler Room and The Apartment for an extended family of 6 adults. It worked out great!! The unit was very clean and beautifully decorated. Our visit was in November, so the outdoor bar was not open, but it looked fabulous! Eddie was a great in communications and provided recommendations for the area. We visited the Ashmont Grill a short walk away and it was delicious. We highly recommend this VRBO.

This was by far one of the nicest stays that we’ve had at a vacation rental. The unit was very clean and carefully decorated. Eddie was a great, communicative host. The area is decent and very close to the T, which was very helpful in navigating Boston proper. Would stay again!

Location
About a 7–10 minute walk to Ashmont/Shawmut on the Red Line, making it convenient for reaching Boston; street parking is often easy. Some guests felt uneasy walking at night and noted limited restaurants or amenities within easy walking distance.

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.

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.

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.

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

The curb appeal of this house was spectacular in the middle of a somewhat unsuspecting neighborhood. The owners also made immaculate touches on the inside of the home. The neighborhood was fine, not a lot of amenities nearby, but we loved the Ripple Coffee shop by Ashmont station — it was the perfect spot to grab a coffee and quick bite before heading into town for the day. We were out and about quite a bit exploring Boston and basically only at the home to sleep. At times we wish we would’ve been able to enjoy the home a bit more! The shower was great and the hand dryer on site was helpful. The back patio looked great but we never got a chance to enjoy it. Conveniently located within about a 7-8 min walk from either Ashmont or Shawmut on the Red Line which made for an easy in and out of town each day. If you’re visiting without a car and planning to use a Lyft/Uber and public transportation like we were, I’d say generally speaking you’re better off using the MBTA (way cheaper and usually quicker). It was generally about a 15-20 ride into town on the T (7-8 stops to central Boston). The owners were excellent communicators and made us feel welcome from the moment we booked.

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.

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.
