I stayed in Brookline when I went. It's close to the Green Line subway (although, it's above ground in Brookline) and the hotels were quite a bit cheaper than downtown. It's actually closer to Fenway than downtown is (you could probably walk back to the hotel faster than the subway after the game because of the crowds).

The neighbourhood itself is pretty quiet and residential, so it's not somewhere you'd want to stick around for the nightlife, but the subway into downtown is convenient, and a cab ride wouldn't cost too much.


I only had one day in Boston, so there's a lot I didn't get to do, but I did the Fenway tour in the morning, went to the original Cheers for a beer, then walked the Freedom Trail from Boston Common to Bunker Hill. By the time I was done that, I had enough time to take the subway back to my hotel, shower, and then back to Fenway for a Red Sox game that night. All of that would be married-guy safe.
