Thread: Short break in Boston

Probably about 3 days in Boston . Happy to use public transport. Need to strike a balance between cost and location. Will be swopping our timeshare foa a week near Conway, so that bit of the trip is sorted!

Many apartments have 3 nights minimum reservation policy. I never needed renting one in Boston , but we did rent a lot all over US. The price is usually comparable to that of hotel ( except you don't have maid services and concierge). Since we usually travel with kids, we really appreciate separate living and sleeping areas that most of the apartments provide. Looking for a hotel outside downtown as MaxieLu suggested is also a good idea....

What time of year are you planning to visit? And how much time total between Boston and New Hampshire will you have. There are many hotels and some B and B's to pick from. I would opt to being in the city if possible rather than at the airport although our public transportation system, the MBTA, is pretty easy to negotiate.

I think you would have difficulty getting an apartment for that short a time, but am not sure. Some hotels that are farther out, but on the public transportation lines, might be cheaper and perhaps worth considering. There is a Holiday Inn in Brookline which is on the "Green Line" of our subway system -- probably the hotel isn't very cheap, since it's a nice area. There is a hotel in Newton right on an express bus...
