Boston is not huge, but rent prices sway dramatically depending on location. You should do research in terms of what neighborhoods you would prefer, and then search based on that.

That being said, studios will be on average $2000/mo, 1br $2500/mo, 2br $3000/mo, although it all depends on the location and features.

Paying extra just because you want guests in their own bedroom is quite kind, but it's probably not the best idea in the long run vs. having them sleep in the living room.

Do the math of what a few hotel room nights costs versus increase in rent over an entire year

Im going to add on and say that these are the lower end prices for older, not updated units that are in further neighborhoods or not directly on a transit line. Expect to pay 50%-100% more if the goal is an updated apartment or in a closer/trendier neighborhood.

Depending on the neighborhood, there’s not much of a price jump between a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom, since 1 bedrooms are so rare
