The crashpad I stay at is 2 minutes from the Maverick T stop and is $220/mon. I can leave my apartment and be at the gate in 20 minutes. It is a 4 bedroom apartment - each room has a bunkbed in it. Most of the time I'm alone.
Bathroom and kitchen are perpetually filthy. Sometimes I'll break down and clean them, but next time you go back they're disgusting again. Some guys need their moms to follow them around and clean up after them I guess.
Neighborhood is very safe during daylight hours. There is a grocery store, And a Walgreens a few blocks away. Tons of good, cheap restaurants ("Dough" pizzeria - best sandwiches in town). Target is a 15 minute ride on the T.
There is a great YMCA in east Boston, or a Planet Fitness 2 stops away on the T.
Have you tried the "Vermonter" sandwich at Dough's? Dy-no-mite! And they deliver to the airport, for those who might have a long sit.
