Poppy, Marshall and their lovely home have raised the bar for us. Having Poppy as a hostess is like having a sweet, warm, caring and totally chill mom away from home. She goes out of her way to make sure you're as comfortable as possible, and is super accommodating of any request you may have.

Prime example of this: Poppy makes breakfast every morning (which, already, is so nice of her!), and when she asked us what we would like, I mentioned I'm vegan, so I'd try do breakfast on my own so as not to inconvenience her. But Poppy wouldn't have it! Every morning, she provided me lots of fresh fruit, nuts and oatmeal, while serving my husband eggs, yogurt and even homemade quiche! She really goes above and beyond.

In terms of the room itself, it's a great size with a comfy bed, a window AC unit in case it's a little warm and offers a nice amount of privacy. My husband and I slept very soundly, and I personally love how well-decorated and full of personality the whole house is. The bathroom was impeccably clean, and Poppy provided soft, clean towels for us to use. The location of the house was fantastic as well, since we were in walking distance of a lot of great little restaurants and the Central Station on the Red Line.

Overall, we really can't say enough good things about Poppy and Marshall. Her warmth, knowledge of Boston, helpfulness and genuine care made our first-ever trip to Boston so relaxing and enjoyable. If ever we need to visit the Boston area again, you can bet their place is the first place we'll look! Thank you, Poppy and Marshall!!
