I've been to Boston a couple of times. If you're looking to hang out in the city for a couple of days, I'd recommend staying somewhere in the city within walking distance of the subway. It's pretty easy to get around. I stayed at a hostel in the Back Bay area, which was roughly a 5-10 minute walk to the subway. Pretty sure there are several hotels in that area as well if that strikes your fancy. Also it was about 1 mile from Boston Common where the original "Cheers" pub is located (which is awesome by the way.) I did a lot of walking when I was there, but took the subway a few times out to Fenway Park and down to the Harbor, etc.. It's a very cool town. You'll like it. I highly recommend catching a Red Sox game if you get the chance.

Hope this helps a little.
