A quiet and nice bedroom with the elemental items you will need to enjoy a travel to Cuba:
-A brand new air conditioner.
-A brand new fridge to store food or water.
-A private bathroom beside the bedroom, with an electric shower (hot/cold water) and clean towels.
-Access to Internet via WIFI.
The room also has a very spacy closet to keep your baggage under lock. It's a very quiet bedroom in a very vibrant area, away from any street but in a downtown's building.
I want guests to feel like home. So, you make your own rules when you are my guest. Once again, I recommend to read all and every reviews written by previous guests, so you can get the perspective from other persons who booked before you. Also, I recommend to see the photos.
You will be in an apartment located in Vedado, a county close to Old Havana.
I'm willing to help my guests in anything they may need to know or to do. Usually, they ask me about good places to eat or assistance in the translation to Spanish. I'm open to bring my help to any question or situation they could face here in Havana.

About the Area
El Vedado is a sort of Havana's downtown. My Airbnb is located near to its very heart, the corner of 23rd and L streets. In Spanish, Vedado means 'forbbiden', because three centuries ago it was forbbiden to build anything in the part of the city.
El Vedado is very safe and it's full of all kinds of excellent restaurants and bars, from the good and cheap to the expensive and unique ones.
Vedado is a mixed architecture style neighborhood, surrounded by the famous seaside's Malecon.
From here, you can go walking easily to anywhere in the principal parts of the city. It's five minutes away from Old Havana in taxi (or just twenty five minutes if you choose to walk).
