Sótano con demasiado ruido en las instalaciones que no deja dormir. Además cobro inesperado por 95 dólares por una supuesta mancha en las sábanas, lo que, de ser cierto, es demasiado caro.

The Boiler Room
The apartment was very beautifully decorated and clean, and the hosts responded very quickly to questions before and during our stay. It was about a 10 minute walk from the train station and there were plenty of restaurants within a few-block radius so it wasn't hard to find food or get into the city. We stayed in the winter, and while the tile floors were a little chilly, the space overall was well heated. The "kitchenette" is a bit of an exaggeration, it was just a wine fridge, coffee maker, and electric kettle, but that was enough to make tea before heading out into the city for the day. It's fine for a weekend stay but if you're planning to be staying longer it would be hard to not have at least a microwave.

Eclectic and Convenient
We wanted to take some of the furniture home! Obviously a lot of thought went into the refurbishment, decoration and furnishing of the unit. Convenient to T and some fine dining. Super fast WiFi. Although in the city, there was some interesting wildlife; our first morning there I surprised three wild turkeys in the yard! Eddie almost seemed to read our minds when we reached out with a couple of questions. Our next stay in the Boston area we’ll definitely hope one of Eddie’s units are available.

Such a fun place to stay with your spouse
We loved our stay here. It was quiet but close enough to downtown so we could escape the busy city streets. Eddie and Nayeli have great attention to detail and did an amazing job with the decor and layout of the unit. We noticed something new each day while we were there. The outdoor living space was so inviting. The entire property was so clean and well thought out inside and out. When we were looking for a place to stay near Boston, we were concerned about parking. If you are driving, you will have plenty of street parking in front of the house. We never had to worry about when we would get back and if we would have to walk in the cold or rain. We will be back to visit our son who lives in Boston and hope this unit will be available when we come back out. Thank you for such a great stay!

The Boiler Room
The Boiler Room was a really special place to stay. Very clean and well decorated. The only issues for us was there really isn't a kitchen which was okay because we could make coffee in the morning and keep a few cold drinks in the small beverage refrigerator but I had thought there would be more of a kitchen. Secondly we stayed during a very cold spell in Boston. The heaters worked really well but the tile floor was icy so once we found our slippers it made a huge difference. Staying in the warmer weather would be incredible to be able to use the outdoor space. Eddie was incredibly attentive to any questions I had and we felt very safe staying there. It is really well decorated and parking is easy out front.

Bummed Out in Boston
We can start on an up-note. The decor was beautiful, tastefully and carefully decorated. The unit was very clean, and barring the absence of a couch, comfortable, however the unit was freezing. The communication with the owners and VRBO was excellent. The owner literally got back to us in minutes. The kitchenette oh the kitchenette! What is a kitchenette? A little kitchen, right? Sadly, the owners seem not to know this. There was no sink, no stove, no refrigerator, no ice maker, no dishes or utensils of any kind. While we were there only for a weekend and there was no imperative on cooking, it would have been nice to have the option, as well as refrigeration should we bring leftovers home. Don't get me started on the no ice. The owners deliver drinks to the rooms, which is I guess why they don't offer ice, but I'm not going to order a iced water at 3 in the morning from them. None of this lack of amenities was noted in the description. Walk a few blocks in any direction and the neighborhood was not great. It was described as being close to downtown, which it is not. It is a 10-15 walk to the train station (note my first sentence), and over 40 minutes to central Boston. We would not be comfortable walking home from the train station late at night. Lastly, and this is for VRBO; the room rate was reasonable, but the fees and taxes ended up being more than the room rate! After all this we should have just stayed at a nice hotel in downtown Boston. We do want to thank them for their recommendation to Coquette - an excellent French restaurant (not as close as they said it would be).

Thank you!
Immediately when you see the home and property, you know the owners took time to craft the look and feel of this place. The property and room were both exceptionally clean. The location of the room is very convenient - train and bus stations close by, and plenty of things in walkable distance. My only mark (and I didn't even deduct stars) is that it is listed as having a kitchenette - it does not. A kitchenette implies you can at least cook something (put a microwave on the back counter by the laundry room)...but let's be real, there's so much good food in Boston you won't be cooking anything. 5/5 would come back

Wonderful Stay!
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.

Image over function
Yes, we enjoyed our stay in ‘The Boiler Room’ , it is beautifully appointed, the bed is comfortable and the hosts accommodating, BUT, there are several pitfalls that need to be pointed out, it is a basement after all and some noise is to be expected from the room above but I think we were unfortunate that on three of the nights we stayed our neighbours were very heavy footed and clumsy (one morning at 5am). Our main upset was that Vrbo have on their site that there is a kitchenette, now to us that means a small kitchen (please Google -how do you define a kitchenette) there should at least be basic facilities to be able to prepare simple food, which there was not. The kitchenette in the Boiler Room has a coffee machine, a kettle, two teaspoons and 4 small cups, nowhere does it explain that you cannot prepare food. The hosts responded quickly and brought us bowls, plates and cutlery and we managed. This description needs to be clearer on the Vrbo website. The hosts have spent a great deal on making the apartment very attractive and their style very much appealed to us when we booked, if it wasn’t for the lack of food preparation this apartment would have been perfect.

Respuesta de VrboOwner el 29 sept. 2022
Bronwen, again we’re so sorry that you were expecting a full kitchen and wanted to cook or prepare food in the unit. As we mentioned earlier, The Ashmont Apartment (Unit 1) would have been a better choice, as that unit is equipped with a full kitchen that might have been better suited for your needs. Especially if cooking and preparing food in the unit was a top priority, which usually for our guests booking @ The Boiler Room it is not. Nevertheless, we apologize as we always try to provide all our guests with the best home away from home experience! Cheers! Eddie

You can clearly tell a lot of thought and effort went into this rental! Love how clean and cute everything was!! The backyard is adorable and offers many things! Would stay here again!! Only downfall if you’re in the boiler room, you can hear everything from the floor above you, so if you’re not an early riser- you may get woken up! Other than that! Had an amazing time :) Would stay here again! Hosts are amazing and respond timely!

Beautiful basement room
Loved the space we stayed in. Very clean, comfy, and well decorated. The host was amazing, friendly, and hospitable. Also loved the backyard space available to sit and have a drink and relax after a long day of exploring. The only downside about the stay was the surrounding area in which the house was located. No issue with the house and direct street it was on but if you plan to use the T for getting around be aware while it is a short 10min walk the area to get to it is not the nicest and doesn't feel the safest at night, especially if you're alone. Luckily no one messed with us, but if we found ourselves out past 9 we paid extra for a cab/uber. And we did feel safe in the house itself. Also, be aware you are on the bottom floor of a 3 story home so you will hear the floor above you but it really isn't that bad. Other than those 2 things, the space was amazing and we were very satisfied with our stay.

We found the multicultural ambiance of the 'boiler room' to be relaxing and restorative after our days exploring historic Boston and the Cape. Probably the most interesting decor of those where we've stayed. Hosts equipped the room to meet all needs and much more. Very interesting book collection, too. Definitely 5☆. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful! Clean! Kind hosts!
My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights for our 20th anniversary. It was one of the most beautifully decorated homes we have ever stayed in. So clean, and well kept. This home is built in the 1800’s, so just understand that being in the basement you will hear some people walking and talking upstairs. It didn’t bother us at all. The shower is so nice! Very hot water. The host also leaves local craft beer and wine for you to purchase. We appreciated this very much, especially after walking all day. However, it is also a close walk to some nice restaurants, a 7-11 and a liquor store. Oh! And a great coffee place called Ripple, right near the Ashmont T Station (which we used every day). Eddie was a wonderful host. We only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the patio like we intended. Lastly, the bed was comfortable and the room has mini-splits to keep it the right temp. A+, would recommend! Will return when we are able. Thank you for hosting us! We appreciate you!

Lovely stay in the Boiler Room
My husband and I had a great Boston vacation. The Boiler Room was very clean and surprisingly spacious. The property is fairly close to the train station but I suggest renting a car or using a car service especially when arriving or departing with all your luggage. The unit is in the basement of the house and noise from the floor above can be loud at times but they do have fans that helped us sleep. Overall we had a great stay!

Lovely stay!
We loved staying at this property. Eddie was extremely accommodating and let us drop our luggage off dar earlier than the check-in time. He was quick to respond and has great suggestions for our time in Boston. It’s a quick walk to the Ashmont T station - Google Maps tries to take you to the Shawmut station, but I would recommend the walk to Ashmont (even though it’s one stop further out). Just a quick note - per the rules posted in the unit, the washer and dryer are only to be used for stays longer than a week. Eddie was quite accommodating and let us use them since we’d been planning on it. (This was one stay on our long trip, so we needed to do laundry.) Since the unit is in the basement, it can be a little loud depending on what’s going on above you. It wasn’t a problem for us but just something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to noise. We hope to be back in Boston sometime and will certainly look to stay here again.

Great Getaway
Eddie was fantastic. He gave us a lot of information about places to eat, visit, etc. The Boiler Room is a very unique place. Very quaint. Wish we had a chance to sit out on the patio. It looked so inviting but our weather wasn't cooperating. Great location, not far from the "t" train station. It would be great if their was a coffee keurig instead of espresso machine. The Boiler Room is on the lowest level of the home so you may hear people above you if they are there at the same time you are. We would definitely be interested in coming back when the weather is warmer. Thanks Eddie!

The Boiler Room is such a fun hideaway. I had a great time marveling at how the owners had transformed their basement into such a luxe experience! Do note that there is no fridge for storing food (I had forgotten but it is clearly expressed in the listing) but there is an impressive range of beverages available to guests.

Fantastic stay at the Ashmont!

Eddie and Nayeli were very kind and welcoming and have an AMAZING backyard made for hanging and entertaining. Very easy trip by train into the heart of Boston for a day of sightseeing.

The Boiler Room's decor is truly beautiful and stylish. Eddie and Nayeli are gracious hosts who are readily available to solve any issues that might come up. Their backyard patio space is very inviting also. The Ashmont neighborhood of Dorchester is a great place to stroll around and admire late 19th century Victorian homes. It's an easy (less than 10 minutes) walk to the Ashmont metro on the Red Line to get to downtown Boston.

Excellent Time!
This rental property was exactly what my wife and I needed for our 17th anniversary. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted by our host, Eddie. He took the time to give us recommendations on all of the area's to visit, and the easiest ways of getting there. Super helpful, as this was our first time on the east coast. Then he showed us around the Boiler Room. VERY clean, convenient, and comfortable. When my wife and I were not exploring the city, and surrounding areas, it was great to kick back at the Boiler Room. Super convenient location, close to public transportation and lots of great restaurants. One of the nights we got to hand out with Eddie and Nayeli, his wife. They are definitely two of the coolest people we had the opportunity to chill with. Excellent and most generous hosts, after one evening I feel like I knew them for the past 10 years. I can definitely see why the reviews are so great for this treasure of a stay. Too much too list...5 out of 5 stars for sure.

My husband and I planned a trip to Boston for our 15th wedding anniversary. The pictures for the Boiler room were intriguing so we decided to book. Let me just say, the pictures don’t even do the property justice. What the Romos have created here is nothing short of amazing. It is exquisitely decorated and thoughtfully laid out. The common area in the back was unexpected and special. As hosts they were communicative and accommodating, but beyond that they were a joy to get to know. This was a trip we will fondly remember for years to come and this property was for sure the star. Highly recommend the Boiler room!

What a wonderful and unique experience! This property is one of a kind. Beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed, this very large room was perfect for our 3 night stay in Boston.
