Staying with Poppy and Marshall was an all-round lovely experience.
The neighborhood feels very safe, and is either a pleasant stroll or easy subway ride into central Boston. It's very peaceful and we woke up to birdsong every morning - such a lovely contrast to living in NY!
The house is lovely - so welcoming and homely, and we had masses of space and privacy. It was quite warm at times while we were staying, but the bedroom has an AC unit so we were always comfortable. The bathroom has recently been redone so is super modern with a big shower that has great water pressure. Lots of nice little touches such as a basket of mini toiletries in the bedroom.
Breakfast every day was a real highlight - Poppy really spoilt us! We had fruit salad every day, boiled eggs and delicious pastries.
We were out most of the time so didn't get to talk to Poppy and Marshall that much, but we very much enjoyed chatting when we had the opportunity and they are clearly both extremely kind and intelligent people. They were always responsive when we were organizing anything and made us feel very at home. All in all a fab place to stay!
