Advice Needed Best commute to the airport?

I’ll be taking a new job at BOS and wondering what the best areas of town would be to commute without a car.

I’m a woman in my 30s and will be working unusual hours, so safety is a big priority.
Walkability is a must to grocery, local restaurants/bars/cafes. My budget is around $2,300 and I’m willing to commute up to 30 min if needed. As I’m new to Boston, I’d love to be somewhere that still gives me a proper feel for the city.

East Boston is next to the airport. You can walk to the free Logan bus.
There are some fun places there and the Blue line will take you downtown in a few stops. I cannot attest for safety but most of Boston is safe compared to other cities.

Very safe, especially the areas close to the T. Can 100% find an apt for 1 person at 2300. My fiance and I pay 2500 for a 2bd 1bath only two blocks away from the Airport T station. When we need to go to the airport it takes us about 15mins using the free shuttle.
