And if you've ever been through either one, you can really fuckin' tell.

Hopefully they've been updated in the 20 years since I used to haunt those stations, but my god they were decrepit back then.

As a tourist it seemed pretty good.. less crowded than London, a bit more run down than Copenhagen.

Boylston and Park specifically, or just in general? Boston's MTA does a good job of adding a new coat of paint to make things look nice on the surface, but, at least 20 years ago, it took almost no effort to find the rotting bits and whatnot.

I've been there... but was speaking generally, maybe Rose tinted glasses since they've been talking about building a subway in my hometown for about 20 years and I doubt they'll ever break ground!

My town was on the orange line so I generally tried to stay on that line when going back and forth so I could spend as little time in the stations as possible.

Good luck!

Edit: Oh, and go to Faneuil Hall to get some of the clam chowder they sell there. That stuff is delicious and worth the trip.
