We enjoyed our stay in Havana in the house of Carmen and Carlos very much. It was very clean, nice, spacy rooms and a good breakfast on a nice terras on the roof. We would certainly go there again next time.

Una casa bonita y de techos altos en pleno centro de habana vieja, muy bien situada al lado del museo de la revolución. Habitación sencilla y cama y baños igual. No esperes lujo pero si un lugar limpio y agradable. Las zonas comunes son preciosas. La casa está plenamente dedicada al servicio a huéspedes con lo cual no es que vivas con una familia cubana. Pero los que la operan son amabilísimos. Desayuno a 5$ correcto pero sencillo (considerando que en cuba es muy difícil de acceder a cualquier cosa)
Toda la noche hay una persona pendiente o sea que puedes hacer check un o check out a cualquier horaHost reply

The house is beautiful and in a very interesting part of Old Havana. Our hosts made sure we had everything we needed and we had a comfortable night's sleep and a very good breakfast.

Its a wonderfull stay. Our room was clean and confortable and the place is in the center, close to everything. Also the terrace is awesome. They were really kind with us, we brought then some medicine they need (which they paid) and gave us breakfast for free.

We had a good stay at this casa and the house and roof terrace are really nice. It's a really great location to explore both Havana Vieja and Centro. Al, the manager was super helpful, providing information and helping with changing money etc. and spoke perfect English. The breakfast was also good and sufficient. The bar downstairs can be a bit noisy in the evening/night, which was not a problem for us, but some people might not like this.

Pour mémoire, j'avais réservé deux chambres pour une nuit. Un jour avant notre arrivée à La Havane, j'ai envoyé un message au propriétaire pour confirmer notre venue. A cet égard, j'ai reçu une réponse me disant : <>.
Ce qui m'agace, c'est que même lorsqu'on passe par un site de réservation officiel, la réservation souhaitée n'est pas respectée (ce n'est pas la première fois que ça m'arrive à Cuba). Evidemment une réservation de quatre ou cinq nuits, -voire plus- n'aurait pas posée problème.
Je ne mets donc que deux étoiles même s'il est vrai que la voisine qui nous a accueillis était vraiment très aimable et mériterait plus mais ce n'est pas elle que je note.Host reply
