Super cute place. Only thing is anyone moving around in the upper unit you will hear every bit of it. Location was super convenient for us as we were just staying the night for a concert at the TD Garden.

Thank you so much for the kind review, Taylor! It was a pleasure hosting you both! And just to clarify, since there’s two metro stations (Red Line) close to our property. Ashmont T Station is the one closest to our property, and it’s a 5-7 minute walk, while Shawmut T Station is a 7-10 minute walk. We always like to recommend Ashmont T Station, as there’s a couple of coffee shops, Tavolo Ristorante, and an American Provisions just across the station.

The Boiler Room at the Ashmont is just so darling and cozy!!! The decor was very cool. The bed and bathroom were super comfortable. The host was just a text away and always responded quickly. The location is really great with just a short walk to the T.

We had a wonderful stay in the Boiler Room. The room was gorgeous - exactly as pictured and very clean. The host was extremely responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. As others have said, sometimes you can hear the guests upstairs. It was never a problem, but if you are a light sleeper, just be aware you may need ear plugs. (I used the sound machine that is in the room and it helped tremendously). It was a short walk to the subway and then a quick ride into the city. Would definitely stay here again.

Me and my husband stayed here for our honeymoon. It was a close walk to the train station, we liked not staying in Boston but not being too far away. This place was so cute! It was spacious for what we were wanting! It was perfect!

Fantastic Retreat

I came into town for a convention I was working at, and couldn't be happier with the Boiler Room. It was a short drive to the convention center and a lovely place to relax after my long days.

Good location, nice place

Stayed in The Boiler Room downstairs. Ceiling is a bit creaky, could use a grab bar for entering/exiting shower. Otherwise a good place to stay. Transit train is only a 10 min walk, and several restaurants nearby. We recommend Molinari's

We had a nice visit for our son’s graduation. Eddie was incredibly responsive and answered any and all questions we had. The room was very cozy but very dark, but that’s to be expected since it’s a basement. Other reviewers weren’t happy with the kitchenette - that didn’t bother us. What we had trouble with was the people above us. I’m wondering if they are told that there are people below them when they check in because it sounded like a house party for elephants was going on above us. I understand the house is old (and beautiful!) and that we were on the very bottom level, but it seriously sounded like the people above were dropping weights on the floor. They came back one time at 3:00 AM and instead of passing out or going straight to bed, they thought it would be a good idea to walk around and do things till almost 4:00 AM. Anyway, despite all of this, Eddie alone made this a positive experience. I’m not trying to be totally negative, I just want people to be aware of what they MAY experience. Things might not be so frustrating for others!

Cutest VRBO

We loved this VRBO for our Boston trip! Traffic was very reasonable in the area. The place was fully equipped for a couple nights! Not much to offer as far as a fridge, but that’s ok. Great patio space for both coffee in the morning or drinks at night! Highly recommend :)
