Victor's place was a great spot to stay for me to visit Boston and Salem over a couple days. It's just a 15 minute drive to Boston and about 40 minutes to Salem depending on traffic. Cambridge is also very nice. There's a great park with a large pond across the street from Victor's house that I liked to walk my dog at - it's beautiful at sunset. It's worth noting that people speed pretty excessively on the street Victor lives off which makes it a little difficult to pull into the driveway as an out of towner. This of course isn't Victor's fault, and he actually clearly communicated this with me, but just worth noting. Overall I was very happy staying here and Victor was very communicative whenever I had questions.
