Poppy and Marshall were gracious and inviting hosts who made me feel very welcome in their Cambridge home. It is conveniently located near Central on the T Red Line which connects to the hubs on both sides of the river. A few minute walk gets you to the Charles River foot path, a Whole Foods, Starbucks, and a few local gems. Poppy's genuine interest in providing the appropriate breakfast in the days leading into Marathon Monday and engaging conversation was unexpected but truly appreciated. The second floor bedroom, bathroom, and lounge were better than advertised and provided a comfortable and quiet base for my travel. I would recommend Poppy's place to anyone looking for a room in a family home that has heart and soul. Thank you.
