I love that city. A place in the Back Bay would put you right in the area where most of that stuff is within reach.
This is a great list. If you're staying in the Back Bay, part of the Christian Science complex is the Mapparium inside the Mary Baker Eddy Library. It's a short, low-key, low-cost diversion where you spend about 20 minutes inside a three-story glass globe of the world from the 1930s and as a perfect sphere, the sound effects are pretty cool.

This was a highlight of my last visit to Boston, along with the Museum of Science which had a Lord of the Rings costume and model exhibit when I was there (there's a cool-looking Mars exhibit there right now).
