House of Titi and Martha, my home and yours too for a while. I'm Martha. Titi, my husband. At home you will feel very comfortable. We like to serve and please you, but naturally, without hypocrisy. The room is your private space, and the rest of the house, for everyone. We live in the oldest part of the city, where the streets are made of stone, like centuries ago; and riders on horseback cross in front of the house. The neighborhood is peaceful and well-lit. 5 minutes walk from the museums.
More information
The place
Your space starts outside the house, right on the sidewalk. You can share that space with Titi and me when the sun declines. It is where they sit almost always to talk with neighbors, to take fresh air, or just to spend time. But inside the house you receive the living room of the family, and everyone. Converse, watch a baseball or soccer game with Titi, or a show or soap opera with me. Do not be shy, we invite you to be part of the family for a few days, but feel free to be yourself without giving explanations. You can enjoy the privacy of your room, where nobody else can access during your stay. Another space that you can use, especially during the day, is the dining room or the patio. Upstairs there is a large terrace overlooking a nearby hill and towards the mountains, a little further away.
Available for guests
For me it would be ideal to prepare breakfast, dinner and everything you like. I enjoy doing it and it's good for business. However, if you need to use the kitchen just tell me. I offer you a modest breakfast or a very well served one. Or I help you prepare your own food. Please do not feel uncomfortable if you do not have to pay more, or prefer to do it yourself. You can always count on my help.
I also offer laundry, ironing, or other services. If I do not know how to do it, I look for a professional for you. Massages, salsa lessons, tour guide, whatever you need. Or I just tell you where to find it.
Attention to the guests
Truly, language is not a barrier when intentions are the best. You can be sure that I will attend to you and help in everything. You can always count on me, and I will never bother you trying to sell you tourist options and things. This is my business, but being a nice and good person is the most important thing for me. Both Titi and I, enjoy family life and the tranquility of our home, so we try to maintain that atmosphere in the treatment of our guests. We always seek an atmosphere of peace and rest. A guest unattended and mistreated, or who does not feel comfortable, is a problem that takes away the usual harmony of our home.

About the Area
You must bear in mind that it is a neighborhood in the old part of the city, and maintains its stone streets, with narrow sidewalks and roofs of tiles. Imagine arriving in the 19th century to Trinidad. When you travel by plane to visit Cuba and Trinidad, you are riding a one time machine. This city is a World Heritage Site due to the high level of conservation. You may be surprised by many things that you will see, but that is part of the charm of this city. In a general sense it is a quiet neighborhood, safe at all times and well lit. The Plazar Mayor is located 5 minutes walk, as well as all museums, many restaurants, cafes and nightclubs.
