Accommodations in Boston and NYC?

Seeking recommendations for AirBnB or modestly priced hotels in Boston and New York.
Hi! Have you stayed somewhere in Boston or NYC within the last few years that you could recommend?
The travellers: two adult men, two beds. Mid-September this year.
I, a third party, am tasked with booking rooms.
I saw some past recommendations for hotels in Brooklyn, but am seeking leads to no-hassle AirBnBs, if they exist.
Feel free to memail me if you need to keep your spot super-sekrit! Also would love to hear from anyone who is a no hassle AirBnB host in Boston or NYC themselves!
Me and my croutons thank you!

Best answer: Room at The Franklin Hotel on the UES can be had for sub-$200/night, depending on when you go. They are small (per NYC standards), but very nice and well-located.

Best answer: My partner and I go to NYC all the time, and stay at the Club Quarters Wall St. I think because it's a less "sexy" location (everything in that area tends to close a bit earlier than all-night Manhattan areas) the prices are low, but the hotel itself is lovely, right next to a subway entrance, and we love it. I checked a couple of weeks in September, and you can get weekday rooms for under $200/night, for singles.

Best answer: I used to stay here in Boston (technically Somerville) a lot before I got a dog (they don't allow pets). It's very very reasonable and in a great location, right off the red line in Porter Sq, walking distance to many Cambridge/Somerville attractions.
The Sheratons in Boston can be a good deal, but vary a lot in price. When the date gets closer, look into the Sheraton Commander in Harvard Sq (which would be my first choice) and the Sheraton in Back Bay, I've stayed at both of these locations for less than $200/night, but sometimes they can be prohibitively expensive.

For hotels, just use Hotel Tonight and filter by your definition of "modestly priced". Please don't stay in an Airbnb in New York.

Best answer:
Bubba and Bean Lodges (named after their two Boston Terriers), NYC. Quiet, spotlessly clean and reasonably priced. Completely self-contained, including small kitchen. The apartment we stayed in had a fabulous outdoor patio too. Close to public transport and some excellent restaurants. (Wishing I was there right now...)

Response by poster: To clarify: by no hassle AirBnB I do mean one that is legal and that you or your immediate circle have experienced recently and can confirm is no hassle.
Are all AirBnBs in NYC illegal? Sincerely asking, don't mean to derail. Thanks.

NOLO's Airbnb in New York City looks like it has a lot of information.
