    La Sra. Virgen alquila una bonita y limpia habitación a precio más que razonable. Además, nacida en 1949, te regala una conversación de cómo ha vivido y ha sentido Cuba en los últimos 74 años. Solo esta conversación justifica una vista a la Habana.

    Nos encantó hospedarnos en casa de Virgen, la madre de Mariela. Ella nos contó mucho sobre cuba y nos preparó un desayuno delicioso. Muchas gracias por vuestra atención!

    Ens vam allotjar a l'apartament de la mare de la Mariela, la Virgen. Ens va acollir com si fóssim a casa. Cada matí ens va preparar un esmorzar boníssim amb fruites, ous remenats amb alvocat i un suc de fruites natural. Cada dia, mentre esmorzàvem, ens explicava curiositats del país i de les seves experiències.

    Nos gustó muchísimo compartir los días en la habana con virgen, sus anécdotas vividas y su conocimiento nos aporto muchísimo y nos hizo conocer la historia de cuba desde dentro. Mariela nos ayudo mucho y fue un placer conocerla, ojalá volvamos pronto! Un saludo de nuestra parte no nos olvidaremos de vosotras!

    Nos alojamos durante 2 noches en casa de Virgen. Nos acogió de maravilla. La habitación es espaciosa, con cama cómoda y aire acondicionado. El desayuno fue muy completo y lo adaptaron a nuestros horarios.
    Mariela también nos gestionó varios traslados en taxi.

    La ubicación está muy bien, a 5 min del Hotel Inglaterra y cerca de la casa de la música y del malecón.

    Virgen es encantadora, nos hemos sentido como en nuestra propia casa. Es una mujer con la que puedes hablar de todo, nos contó muchas vivencias.

    Los desayunos son súper completos y se adapta a tu horario para preparártelo. Queríamos probar el mamey y el último día nos lo compró y nos preparó un rico zumo.

    Su hija Mariela también es súper simpática. Sólo pudimos estar con ella un par de horas pero cualquier cosa que necesites puedes hablar con ella.

    La cama es muy cómoda y la habitación es grande. La ubicación es excelente, a sólo 5 min del Parque Central.

    Gracias por todo Virgen y Mariela, sin duda si volvemos repetiremos
