Alejandro was a great host and let us feel welcome. We sleept in the room upstairs with a lovely balcony and the view of his beautiful green garden. We can absolutely recommend him and the place was central.

We had a wonderful time in Cienfuegos! The city is just beautiful and Alejandro is a great host (and he sings great and plays the guitar!) The upstairs apartment is really nice, with one sunny terrace and one overlooking the almost magical garden with huge avocado and guava trees and many different plants! The downstairs room, where we had to spend our first night (due to an overbooking) was not that great, as it doesn't have a window, but Alejandro really made it up for us! The location of the casa is also great, just 3 minutes walking from the bus station (even with a toddler and a suitcase). We really enjoyed every second of our stay!

Alejandro e' una persona adorabile e un'ottimo cuoco!!!!
Siamo stati davvero benissimo!
Vi consigliamo di cenare nel suo giardino, ricco di piante e un bel acquario!
La stanza e' pulita, climatizzata e ben organizzata con bagno privato.
Vi e' anche la possibilta' di lavare I vestiti.
La casa si trova a 5minuti a piedi dal centro di Cienfuegos.May 2017
Room was fairly good, only fairly, the light in the bathroom was always on, regardless if you turn it on or off. The stairway to the room, for a fit person was unstable, made of iron rods, I have
never seen one like it, I asked the host if I could use the water and soda cans in the refrigerator,
which by the way did not have any sign that I would be charged 3 times of the cost at a market, and the worst part was that I had to accommodate my outings and returns at night to his.
I was not given a key to get in or go out to luck the front door, only the one accessing to the
room. Really I have travelled half or almost half, as I worked for 35 years in the airlines business
and stayed at many places from Japan to Egypt, and all European countries, and I am not used
to be in the situation I was. Only because it was 2 nights I stayed, but I found much, much
better places. Thanks but no thanks, not again.Host reply
Hello
I really disagree with the comment you make, I think the attention given to you in the house was good, referring to what you said about the cost of the drinks, as in every hotel or hostel, prices are higher than Markets, that is not a secret for anyone, and if you have traveled so much around the world, I can explain, but I do not think the prices of my hostel are high, you are the first guest to say that.Regarding what you talk about the key, there are rules in the houses that must be met, and although the apartment has independent entrance, it is part of the house and it is my obligation, watch over people who come and go, that way I take care of the guests who stay in it.
The ladder according to the customers who have been in the house is something original and besides I do not think it is unstable because I always think about the safety of my clients.
But I was happy with his stay, I really am sorry, sir, for my part I gave everything because it was a pleasant stay.
Greetings.May 2017
