Hallo, wenn die Kommunikation gut und ausreichend gewesen wäre, wäre bekannt, dass ich noch nicht in Kuba bin bzw.war und krankheitsbedingt die Reise verschoben werden mußte.
Da wurde ich leider nicht unterstützt!!!!
So kann ich nichts zu Carmen und Carlos sagen. Gitta BigalkeMarch 2022
We had great time at this place. Everything went well. Very friendly and helpful host.
The rooms are clean and the breakfast was perfect with nice view. We have stayed only one night because the city was a bit noisy for us but that’s quite normal if you live central.Host reply
Thank a lot Milo!
We hope that you both are fine.
Even the little time you were with us, was a pleasure.
Receive a big hug,

We had a great stay with Carmen and Carlos! Carmen was very helpful in explaining and helping us sort out our money for the rest of the trip. We wouldn't have gotten far without her!
The appartment is also very clean and nice, with a great balcony for breakfast.:)
Thanks again for everything, would definitely recommend their place for staying in Havana!

See you around!January 2022
Very nice location, close to everything and very nice and friendly couple! Room (2) is a bit smaller then we thought. Only place for one Chair on the Balcony and for us the Balcony was the most important. Comfortable Bed!
Host reply
Hello Vincent. We appreciate your feedback. We are pleased in catering to our guests' need the best way we can...if only you had let us know about the balcony, we would have found a solution (small chairs and table).
Regards, Carmen and Carlos.December 2021

Dear Carmen and Carlos we absolutely enjoyed our trip to Cuba, especially to Havanna and your Casa!
We've been your first guests since March due to the Coronavirus.Carmen and Carlos are super friendly and polite. They gave us a warm welcome and a lot of tips. Their English is perfect. This was great for us, as we can't speak Spanish. The apartment is super central in old Havanna. Just around the corner are plenty of very good restaurants and bars. Sadly it wasn't so easy to find open restaurants due to corona and less tourists, because of this the apartment has the perfect location.
The guestroom in their house is completely separated from the rooms where the family lives. This was great, as we are still in the pandemic. We felt totally secure in their casa.
Everything is super clean, the beds are very comfortable, and we've got a warm shower with enough waterpressure .We can definitely recommend Carmen and Carlos Casa and if we might come back to Havanna another time, we would love to stay there again.
Thanks a lot,
Max & MartinaHost reply

Carmen and Carlos are exceptionally personable, nice, open-minded people who welcome you as if you were a friend. The apartments are incredibly beautiful, very stylish, with a small balcony, large roof terrace and a wonderful salon. Everything is nice, clean and extremely cozy. The location is perfect. And whatever you ask, Carmen has a solution. All the best to you and good luck on your way forward! Andreas & Andrea Kuba (!!!)
