Thinking of coming in early August with my kids, and want to do the Freedom Trail. What part of the city would you recommend we stay in?

Definitely depends on budget, but in a vacuum I’d advocate for the Back Bay. Really great area and walking distance or short T ride to the Boston Common where the Freedom Trail begins.
Also, depending on your kids’ ages, the Childrens Museum is new and supposed to be awesome.

We stayed in the “theater district” a couple of years ago. Would not recommend unless it’s your only choice. LOTS of homeless in that area. I will stay near the water/marina areas next time to be convenient to most things.

debating renting a car
The T subway is pretty useful and safe. Meanwhile the streets are pre-1800 narrow and winding in many places. Also at one time car theft was atrocious, not sure if that's still a thing.

He mentioned wanting to rent a car specifically to go to Treehouse. They have three locations (Charlton, Sandwich, and Deerfield) all of which are a decent drive. He'd definitely need a car for that as an Uber would be hard to get and crazy expensive.
But for getting around the city, you're right. The T is the way to go (or just grabbing an Uber).
Car thefts are definitely not a thing these days. Hell, it's pretty rare to even hear about a break in.
