Bei unserer Ankunft schienen wir nicht erwartet. Empfangen wurden wir nicht vom Vermieter. Die Garage, die nach unserem Eintreffen bei der Nachbarin organisiert wurde, war super eng - für unser Auto (normale Größe) zu klein,.
Das gebuchte Zimmer war ordentlich, das Frühstück gut.
Das Wohnzimmer sieht momentan eher aus wie gerade im Umbau, es war nur partiell den Fotos entsprechend - das Flair, welches auf den Fotos sichtbar war, ist leider verloren gegangen.September 2019
¡Mi estancia en casa de José Enrique fue fantástica! Gran persona humana y generosa, muy amable y siempre servicial. Realmente recomiendo alojarse allí mientras se viajar en Santiago de Cuba.

Nous avons passé trois nuits dans cette merveilleuse casa.Tout était parfait.L'accueil de José et son adorable épouse avec le "cafecito " à notre arrivée. Les grandes chambres propres et confortables , un stationnement surveillé pour notre voiture de location à 2 cuc par jour. Le petit déjeuner excellent et très copieux avec fruits frais et jus délicieux servi sur le toit terrasse à l'ombre des fruits de la passion.Que de bons souvenirs ! Merci à José et sa famille pour leur gentillesse et leur joie de vivre

The best Homestay we had in Cuba was with Rosa and Juan Carlos! They are the nicest people ever ! So sincere and helpfull.
With other Homestay I had the feeling the also want to sell you tours to make some sort of commission.
But here it’s was just like being part of the family for a while :)Really recommend staying here !
Great breakfast, great help with everything and beautiful house with a big terrace !August 2018
We stayed at Jose for 4 nights during our final days in Cuba. Both hosts were the best, they helped us out with everything, since we had problems with understanding if our domestic flight were going to fly or not, she phoned the airport to ensure our safe trip back to Havana.
Also the place is huge and you feel very welcome.August 2018
We loved our stay enormously. The house is very beautiful, the rooms are super clean and very comfortable. The hosts are super communicative, friendly, and helpful. We could not have wished for a better place to stay in Santiago, so would definitely recommend staying here!

The case is really beautiful with a good airco and the hosts are very helpful.
Location is perfect, just 5 minutes walk to the centre.
Breakfast is great too!

Very nice room in the centre of Santiago. Hospitality was perfect and we had a very nice breakfast. Only missing detail was a window in the room to look outside.

Mooie casa in prachtig koloniaal pand. Mooie, schone kamers, groot (niet bijzonder) dakterras. Jos Enrique en zijn vrouw zijn vriendelijke, behulpzame gastheer en -vrouw. Heerlijk ontbijt. Gezellige huiselijke sfeer. Goede locatie in de stad, veel te doen op loopafstand. Zouden dit zeker nog een keer boeken als we nog eens in de stad zijn

Expect for nothing less than perfection! Jose and Rosa are incredible people, as well as incredible hosts. The house is at the really center of Santiago, right next to all restaurants, main plaza, and close to all the music clubs, the best experience you can have while visiting Santiago, the capital of music in Cuba. Jos is a musician that sings like a bird in your ear, have a awesome music group, and plays frequently in the cutest plaza in town. Besides that, their house is amazingly decorated, and the bedroom is a five star room with an awesome bed where you can have tropical dreams that are actually real. Santiago is a full of life city, with music all over the place. Jos & Rosa also can arrange drivers to take you to El Moro, which is really far, and a stop by the cemetery where Jose Marti and Fidel Castro are taking a break from this life! Historic must do in Santiago.
The breakfast is a complete service of fresh fruits and eggs the way you want it and can keep you full till 2pm. Great way to start the day and have energy for all the walk you will be doing to discover the city. Worth the 5 cucs it cost <3
Cuando nos casarmos en El Moro, Jose y su orquesta serán elegidos como músicos oficiales para tocar durante la ceremonia toda su selección de músicas cubanas que son encantadoras e inigualables!
Muchas gracias por todo Jos y Rosa! Hasta luego o/
