    The house is beautiful and in a very interesting part of Old Havana. Our hosts made sure we had everything we needed and we had a comfortable night's sleep and a very good breakfast.

    Its a wonderfull stay. Our room was clean and confortable and the place is in the center, close to everything. Also the terrace is awesome. They were really kind with us, we brought then some medicine they need (which they paid) and gave us breakfast for free.

    We had a good stay at this casa and the house and roof terrace are really nice. It's a really great location to explore both Havana Vieja and Centro. Al, the manager was super helpful, providing information and helping with changing money etc. and spoke perfect English. The breakfast was also good and sufficient. The bar downstairs can be a bit noisy in the evening/night, which was not a problem for us, but some people might not like this.

    Pour mémoire, j'avais réservé deux chambres pour une nuit. Un jour avant notre arrivée à La Havane, j'ai envoyé un message au propriétaire pour confirmer notre venue. A cet égard, j'ai reçu une réponse me disant : <>.
    Ce qui m'agace, c'est que même lorsqu'on passe par un site de réservation officiel, la réservation souhaitée n'est pas respectée (ce n'est pas la première fois que ça m'arrive à Cuba). Evidemment une réservation de quatre ou cinq nuits, -voire plus- n'aurait pas posée problème.
    Je ne mets donc que deux étoiles même s'il est vrai que la voisine qui nous a accueillis était vraiment très aimable et mériterait plus mais ce n'est pas elle que je note.

    Désolé Bernad et nous comprenons votre désagrément, malheureusement nous avons eu un problème avec l'une des chambres réservées il nous est impossible de le résoudre aussi rapidement que nous le souhaiterions. Nous préférons les placer ensemble chez notre voisin, ce que nous recommandons à 100%. Encore une fois, nous vous présentons nos excuses.

    Everything was great there .Arrangements,accommodations food and location. Our host Al, one of the best we ever had at a private accommodation. he was friendly, accommodating, humorous, and insightful about all the local customs and logistics. Would have given this five stars only downside was excessive amount of noise at night from the street and the bar down below the accommodation. All around a great choice and would stay there again

    It was a very nice stay!
    A nice house with a great roof terrace and near most of the important places (Obispo, Capitol, Malecon usw.). The people were very nice an Al helps you out with a lot of tips and infos. Everything was clean, breakfast was very good and there is even the possibility to fill up your drinking water. Theres always someone at home so you can get in and out all the time.
    They also organized us an oldtimer-taxi from and to the airport.

    The only thing that wasn´t great -but has nothing to do with de accomodation- is that there is a bar directly underneath... from 21:00 to 01:00 it gets a little lout (at least on the weekend).
