Great place!

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.

Cozy hideaway

I enjoyed staying at this property. It was cozy, well-decorated, and homey, which made me feel very comfortable. I appreciated that it was clean and well-appointed. My only two notes are that the refrigerator is not very large so it was difficult to keep my leftovers. Also, I enjoyed the location, which sage, but will note for others that it is a bit far from central Boston. The host, Eddie, was very communicative, helpful, and responsive. I would stay here again.

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

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 :)

NH Ragnar and a Boston Vacay

The location was perfect for us. The Boiler Room was clean and the hosts were friendly and personable. They recommended places to go, as we have never been to Boston-and their recommendations didn’t disappoint! We will go back again some day for another vacay.

Wonderful. Eddie (owner) was very nice and respectful and the place was clean. The walk to the train station was like maybe 6 minutes away which was wonderful for getting around Boston. The have coffee and drinks you can buy while there, no need to grab drinks. Definitely the place we are starting when we come back.

Need an option for “more than 5 stars”

I cannot say enough about how great the Boiler Room is. Our stay was most excellent, and I can only concur with all previous reviews. Great Location, Great Decor, Lots of Parking....but what stands out most are the VERY gracious host. The Romo’s are fantastic people; we had excellent drinks, great conversation, and would love to visit again. We have had many VRBO stays, but this one has been the best!

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.

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.

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.

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!

A Charming Place to Rest

We had a great time at The Boiler Room! The space was so much bigger than expected and the accommodations were beautiful! My husband enjoyed a craft beer provided in the kitchenette. Here’s a few things to note (most have covered this already)- the property is NOT downtown (about a 30 min drive in traffic), but it IS close to the T. There were a few points were we felt a bit unsafe (someone crossed the street to follow us, there were people loitering in the square by the T station who called out to us, etc.) While this was the reality of the location, it did not detract from our stay and we got from point A to point B pretty easily. Back to the property. You can hear the people walking upstairs, but we got to sleep just fine without ear plugs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thought The Boiler Room was part of what made our first stop on our honeymoon so fun! Thanks so much for having us!

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.

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).

My husband and I stayed at the Boiler Room for a long weekend getaway and to go to 2 concerts at the MGM Fenway. The Boiler Room is super aesthetic and cute!! The bed was comfy and the shower was nice and big! It's unfortunately more like 20-25 minutes away from Fenway not 10 as we saw under the map in the listing. There's also an extra 20 a day charge if you have more than 1 guest staying, which wasn't stated in the listing. Eddie responded quickly to all our messages and offered us suggestions on places to see and eat during our trip. The patio area in the back was absolutely beautiful and a great spot for coffee in the morning or a drink at night. We would definitely stay here again!
