Lourdes and Ciro are a lovely, friendly couple who welcomed us warmly into their home. They helped us with booking taxis and served us a very early breakfast one morning before a trip, which was much appreciated! There was a great roof terrace with a swing to relax on and the facilities were very good. They included a private clothes line and hand washing area, private kitchen with dining table, fridge, single electric hob and fan. The bedroom was comfortable and had a fan, air-con, tv and small table. The shower room was very good. There was lots of clean storage space to use and extra blankets, sheets, towels and toilet rolls, perfect! Only 20 minutes walk to a lovely beach and many good restaurants nearby. A good place to relax. The breakfast was amazing with omelette, tomatoes, cheese, fresh rolls, fresh juices, cut fruits and wonderful coffee. Thank you so much Lourdes and Ciro

Ainhoa and family are very friendly, welcoming, highly organised and their home is a short walk away from the main sights of this historically important city. They are very knowledgeable and provided lots of helpful information about Santiago de Cuba. We met three of their adorable, friendly dogs and there is a garden with a patio to sit and relax in. The room has a private entrance, there's a powerful fan, air-con, fridge and an en suite with a shower. It is clean and comfortable. If you want wifi, you will need to buy an internet card and sit in Cespedes Park, which is only 5mins up the road. Breakfast was delicious and served on the patio each morning. They have fruit trees in the garden and Ainhoa and Fabien kindly served many of these freshly-picked exotic fruits for breakfast along with eggs, rolls, fruit juice and amazing coffee. Breakfast was worth the additional cost. Thank you Ainhoa and family

Yohanka and family are incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. We felt very relaxed in their home and with the community in central Havana. A great place to stay and very safe especially for two female travellers. The room was comfortable with its own shower room, fan, air-con, safe and fridge. Yohanka made us a lovely breakfast each morning with eggs, fresh rolls, cut fruits, coffee and delicious fruit juices at a reasonable additional cost. It's 5min walk to the Malecon where there are restaurants, including Neruda if you turn left out of Yohanka's and left again when you reach the Malecon. They have good value, simple and tasty meals. Ave de Italia (Galiano) has restaurants, supermarkets and banks to change money if needed. Thank you Yohanka and family

Claudia and Lupe are lovely ladies, incredibly flexible, helpful and great company. They accommodated our very last minute plans and stayed up late to receive us also organising a taxi. My friend and I only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed longer in their beautiful home, if only to admire the art! The breakfast was the most amazing breakfast in Cuba and at a reasonable price. Cosy, clean and comfortable. Thank you Lupe and Claudia
