We loved staying at Marlo's apartment in Copley! It's literally steps away from the Boston Marathon finish line which is why we were in town. Easy to walk everywhere, Green Line is out the front steps and shopping/eating on Newbury is just around the corner!

I would suggest bringing a pair of ear plugs to sleep, as the apartment is first floor (a good/bad thing) and the street is rather loud in the middle of the night.
