IsaBella Casa

You'll love it at Isabellas! They had a taxi waiting at the airport for me that took me directly to my new home without me worrying about the location. Which is only 3 blocks off the Malecon that wraps around Centro and Old Habana. Easy walk to old Habana. A Lovely spotlessly clean bedroom and bath! A 5 course unbelievably yummy breakfast! Other meals can be ordered, like my last meal there: lightly sauteed fresh shrimp with scallions! Out of this world! Ray was the absolute best fix it person for whatever, including my phone, and lost luggage. And he guided 2 days of tours including Revolutionary Square! I stayed with them for 9 days. This was a dream come true experience, no words can describe how much I felt at home, and didn't want to leave.

Before I write a review I’d like to give some general information that may prove useful when visiting Cuba.
If your a light sleeper then earplugs- ear defenders are a must as rooms may contain small refrigerators. windows and doors
may be of a ventilating-Venetian blind system so street noise may be intrusive.
Bottled water can prove difficult to obtain on the street so we found it easier to purchase it from our casas or from bars/restaurants.
All of our Homestay hosts proved to be a fantastic source of information on restaurants/ bars excursions -taxis etc.
I hope you find this general information useful.

My wife and I had the great pleasure of staying at the Isabella Casa In January this year 2020.
We stayed on two different occasions in both houses ( almost opposite each other )
Both houses/ rooms are simply decorated but super clean and comfortable.
We had breakfast at the Casa ( an extra 5 CUC per person ) but it was fresh and more than plentiful in our opinion and worth every penny.
The houses are located a short 10-15 min walk to the heart of La Havana and a 2 min walk to the Malacon- seafront.
Although I speak reasonable Spanish, Sergio our host spoke very good English, Although other member of the family and staff did speak English wife had no issues communicating with them. All of the family and staff were supper friendly and made our stay very very easy.
My wife and I would be more than happy to recommend staying at Isabella Casa .

We had a very pleasant stay in a lively neighbourhood of Centro Havana (in our opinion the city`s most interesting district). We booked room no. 5, which has a balcony. Watching the street fill with life in the morning was really entertaining. Moreover, the staff in Isabella's Casa was very polite, smiley and helpful. The only tiny thing to complain about would be the mattress which was a bit creaky. But that didn't harm at all this enjoyable stay!

We loved our stay at Isabella Casa so much. The Hosts and Staff are all friendly,helpful and professional people. The rooms are to a high standard, spacious and very clean with room service and clean towels provided without request.

The cleaner is a beautiful lady always smiling and working hard to maintain the high standards of the Casa. The rooms contain good quality air conditioning and room safes.

Sergio speaks English also and is on hand offering General Havana City Advice, Resturant suggestions, onward Travel and similar he would frequently check with us everything was ok.
Any of the staff can and are more than willing to help with anything similar too if Sergio is out.

Located only a 10 minute walk to the main Capitolio Building in the centre and less than a 5 minute walk to the Malecon Sea front and resturants.

Breakfast was very good, large with Coffee, Eggs, Toast, Fruit and Much More..:)

Would recommend them to everyone.

Nous avons séjourné 1 nuit chez Isabella après 9 jours de voyage dans l'ouest cubain. Accueil agréable, une casa tout à fait convenable, propre , quartier du Vedado , à 10mn à pieds de Havana Viejo.
Attention en réservant : les chambres chez Isabella sont aveugles, sans fenêtres. Isabella propose une "chambre avec fenêtre" plus chère (chambre 4) en fait c'est un petit appartement avec cuisine en face de chez elle... et en fait la chambre est aussi sans fenêtre ! .
