If you're in the know, you can make a lot of money in Boston. But most traveling providers aren't in the know. They don't know good and bad times to visit, or market rates. Boston is a tough market in many ways. This discussion thread is useful for providers.

Rates: 350/hr incall.

Time to avoid visiting:

• Move in time around September 1.
• Graduation time in mid May.
• Boston Marathon weekend.
• Finding new clients in the Summer is hard.

Boston hotels are even more expensive than NYC from my experience. Cheap hotels in Boston don't even exist, lol. 

This is only partially true.  Hotels can be crazy expensive when there are conventions in town, and during college events like back-to-school and graduations (Boston has 39 colleges/universities, more than any other city), also during leaf peeping season.  For example, The Godfrey hotel is $800/night next weekend (peak leaf peeping season), but $218 the weekend of 11/16.    If you have flexibility, plan ahead and check the rates over several weeks/weekends you can usually find reasonable rates.   Also sometimes there are deals to be had on hotwire and priceline.  Onmi Parker House is $155 the weekend of 11/23 and $147 the weekend of 11/30.

I found reasonable accommodations even for the peak weekends(Vistas and graduation). New Haven was a harder place to find alternatives
