Hans and Isabel’s homestay was by far the best we stayed in during our Cuban holiday. It was immaculately clean with a/c, a fan, good cupboard space and an excellent shower. An additional bonus was the free half hour of wifi every morning. There are great views over the city and the sea. Hans arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport - most helpful when arriving in a strange country after a long flight. We recommend La Chucheria for breakfast and La Catedral for hearty meals at a very reasonable price, both within a few hundred metres. Slightly more expensive but excellent food is the restaurant Decameron, also within easy walking distance. The hotel Melia Cohiba is useful for changing money and has facilities for arranging bus travel throughout Cuba. We highly recommend this Casa.

Pedro is a kind and generous host and we much enjoyed our stay with him. On our arrival he welcomed us with a jug of fresh juice and something to eat. Once we were settled in, he provided us with an excellent map of the local area - advice on places to visit etc etc. He was very sensitive to our needs, without any big sell on his part. The accommodation is fairly basic but this is more than offset by Pedro's generosity - a lovely man.
