Meisel and her place were wonderful. The house was in Central Havana with some parks nearby. You could walk to some points of interest. We could make use of the whole house with a kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor. The room was on the second floor and looks exactly like the photo. It was spotless and comfortable. Sometimes we could here the activity on the streets but it was quiet at night. Meisel was super helpful with all our questions and even went around to help us buy some Cuban snacks for us to take home because we were clueless and in a hurry. We hoped to stay longer and would love to visit Meisel and Cuba again.
