   Copley Square, which is in the Back Bay, or Quincy Market area, which is just a few blocks from downtown/financial district are your best bets.

   I live here.

   Copley Square has great accommodations but you can also walk to the other places as the city is so small.

   My choice would be the Quincy Market area and Copley Square second.

   Everything is walkable in Boston, and for Boston/Cambridge what is not a close walk is a short subway jaunt. But of the areas you mention the most central would be the Quincy Market and South Bay areas (South Bay is NOT at the Waterfront, by the way, and it is not even waterside; it refers to the original bay which was filled in 200 years ago). Still more central would be the Boston Common/Park Street area
