What would be the cheapest accomodations in Boston to live for a month or possibly 2?|161211

I would like to go for holidays in Boston or surrounding areas of Boston and need a place to stay but the hotels are so expensive, please let me know the cheapest places to stay?

If you can go in the summer the PERFECT and most economical way to do this would be to sublet an apartment in Boston. As you likely know the Boston area is home to TONS of Colleges, and many of the students sublet during the summer months. Some have some very nice places, and the rents are always WAY below the regular market value. You_d need to start looking very soon though.

I was surprised but Craig_s list turned out to be a great resource for this. Here_s a link to them.

If you are able to get a Sunday Boston Globe that would also have a lot of them. But this is a good starting point.

Beyond that, it is going to be VERY expensive to find a place to stay for that long of a time. If it is off season you might be able to find a somewhat affordable place in a vacation area, but Boston would be impossible.

Best of luck finding a place! Hope you can do the summer...the town comes alive and there is so much to do!

Try the town of Beverly. A friend and I were able to find a great hotel with a kitchenette and large living room directly across from train access (which you can hardly notice). It was an AAA recommendation and if you are a member, you also get the discount. There is also a super restaurant right down the road and Beverly is only about 15 minutes from Boston proper.
It_s called the Lakeview Motel.
